Primoz Roglic may have broken two vertebrae at Tour de France crash
CyclingFriday, 22 July 2022 at 20:30
Primoz Roglic has just recently abandoned the Tour de France after suffering from the effects of his crash on the fifth stage, which ultimately took him out of the overall classification fight later in the race, and further damage has been found.
Although Jumbo-Visma have not revealed it, German commentators and ESPN's Victor Hugo Peña have reported that the Slovenian has after leaving the Tour taken exams due to the back pain he's experienced throughout the race which have revealed in two fractured vertebras.
During his crash it was known that he had dislocated his shoulder, posteriorly having it put in place right after the crash. The Jumbo-Visma rider went on to be pivotal during stage 11 where Tadej Pogacar suffered due to the intense attacking of the team, which has proven to be a critical moment at this year's Tour where Jonas Vingegaard took on the yellow jersey.

- He actually took a pay cut when transferred to Visma; he was the star at Jayco for years, he moved because a different team structure could improve his chances and they both got the benefits of the transaction. Money would have been more important if he was a rising talent, not an established one on his way out.mhfrvz11-01-2026
- I take him for his word and the beautiful letter of retirement he penned.Good health and family life as well.Chapeau! God speed straight on till morning.
Brucegel10-01-2026 - If there is something, knowing cycling it will only come out in a decade. Another oddity is the money angle. Had he wanted to, he could probably have arranged to earn more in the next 2 years than he did in the past.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- And yet, so many who get money get worried about it so obviously it’s not easy for everyone.Mistermaumau10-01-2026
- Maybe Simon's close bond with his brother made his position untenable, for instance if Visma were planning an unwelcome surprise for UAE.Hills3310-01-2026
- You forgot the tax angle which says quite a lot about people who are already well set up. And he’s got rid of the money hasn’t he, or rather invested it long-term for his family, people who like money spend differently.Mistermaumau10-01-2026

Front24210-01-2026 - Knowing even less about Jonas than they do about Tadej, journalists seem determined to emphasise the differences between them. They all pepper their articles about Jonas with the words family, quiet and candid. Then they have to make Tadej sound the opposite. If Tadej started a family they would be confused.Hills3310-01-2026
