Primoz Roglic caught up in early crash on stage 3 of Criterium du Dauphine 2024
Cycling
The riders are underway on stage 3 of the 2024 Criterium du Dauphine and one of the pre race favourites, Primoz Roglic has already been involved in an incident.
Roglic, who finished 2nd on stage 2 behind Magnus Cort Nielsen on Monday, was brought down to the French tarmac relatively early on stage 3. After around 41km, with the riders had been on the road for less than an hour at the time, the BORA , hansgrohe leader was caught up in a crash. Thankfully for the Slovenian, some teammates waited for him and brought him back to the peloton without too much difficulty. With the Tour de France looming however, it's the kind of stress that would be better avoided.
“The finish was a bit tricky, but I take the positive out of it. I had the legs, and the boys showed a high level and real dedication. I am very happy,” he said in front of the Cycling Pro Net camera in his pre stage interview at the start of the day. “Will it be the same today? We have to see. We went full yesterday, today it might be more up to the others. But we will see how the race unfolds from the start.”

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
