Primoz Roglic takes big hit at Tour de France as he sheds time due to dislocated shoulder - "That was very painful"
CyclingWednesday, 06 July 2022 at 20:19
Primoz Roglic's goal of winning the Tour de France have taken a blow today on the cobbles of northern France, as the Slovenian crashed in a roundabout with 30 kilometers to go and as a result shed over two minutes to Tadej Pogacar.
โI'm glad I could continue on my way. I had to sit down for a moment to put my shoulder back. That was very painful, but I know how to act in such a situation. I gave everything in pursuit. I can't blame myself or the team for that," he described. The crash which saw Jack Haig abandon had Roglic dislocate his shoulder, which he popped back to place. However, having lost some time on the road, he could not catch up with the group of his teammate Jonas Vingegaard who had been distanced due to a mechanical earlier.
With the assistance of some teammates, he managed to cross the line just over two minutes after Tadej Pogacar - having limited his losses as much as possible but suffering heavily due to the crash.
Teammate Wout van Aert said that "Primoz is a lot more unhappy. The important thing is that he is physically okay. We still have every chance. We will see what we can achieve in the mountains with this strong team.โ The Slovenian will now have a day into Longwy to analyze his injuries on the bike before an important into La Planche des Belles Filles.
"Hopefully I will recover from this soon. We will continue to focus on our goals with the team," Roglic concluded. Now he sits in 44th place, 2:36 minutes behind his teammate Wout van Aert in the general classification, and tomorrow will be an important day to know if he will physically remain in the same form.

- wow, youโre like a REALLY angry little fella, arenโt you? these discussions are supposed to be FUN, brother. if you find them this upsetting you should MAYYYYBE go for a walk, or get some tropical fish to look at or something. beyond my concern for your emotional well being, i gotta say i donโt understand a few things you tried to say. your point about van der poel at liege? i donโt get it. and exactly who are the โyou peopleโ who are persecuting you over pogacarโs walk-over at the giro. anyway, good luck with everything.OCexile08-11-2024
- Lefevere is such a clown.Sweep08-11-2024
- You're spewing nonsense. MVDP was at Liege too. Jonas did his best ever numbers in the Tour, as did Evenepoel. In the worlds, MVDP wasn't the only one chasing and a large part of the route was flat. Oh, did you forget that Pogi soloed 80 ks? What about the 80ks at Strade Bianche? The training ride at the Lombardia? And man, I can't stand how dismissive you people are of his Giro dominance. "There wasn't anyone around to challenge him" yeah well whenever a cyclist wins it's because there was no one else around who would be good enough. I'm sick of this imaginary opponents argument. Who was supposed to be there to challenge him anyways? Do you think Roglic or Evenepoel could do anything? Or Vingegaard, who always trains to peak for the Tour?Ayrton08-11-2024
- What a great ride that day, and what a great young rider. I am really looking forward to what he'll do next, and his attitude about racing is great. Let's hope he keeps that.RidesHills08-11-2024
- everyone should TRY to remember that just a year ago it was pascal the couldnโt remotely hang with vingegaard at the tour. the explanation for that was that pog had injured his wrist and that had interfered with his preparation. compare what a damaged wrist would do to your prep vs. what happened to vingegaard. i think a 100% healthy pogacar vs. a 100% healthy vingegaard at the tour is just about even money. hopefully thatโs what weโll get.OCexile08-11-2024
- i still believe that a thoroughly healthy jonas is at least a match for pogaฤar. i think some of tadejโs new aura of crushing invincibility comes from a year when everything lined up for him just right. to be clear, iโm NOT saying heโs not the most gifted rider on the planet! he IS! butโฆ liรฉge is made for him; there was NOBODY at the giro to challenge; jonas, for all his spirit, was broken and a shell of his true self at the tour. the Worlds course was a perfect fit for this year for pog, where slimmed down but still MUCH bigger van der poel still kept the gap under a minute in a course that REALLY didnโt suit HIM. my point is that i actually donโt think tadej suddenly launched himself to a level of ability far, far above where heโd been before. heโs a great rider that had an historically great year, but i donโt believe heโs become something NEW, and UNBEATABLE. if heโs fully healthy, i really expect jonas to be as much of a handful for pog as pog is for him.OCexile08-11-2024
- seriously, ESPECIALLY when paired with each other. when they put bob with phil, itโs like bob KNOWS he needs to tighten everything up because phil (god bless him) is losing his marbles. bob is actually pretty GOOD when heโs on phil duty. and when they took vande velde OUT of the booth with bob an put him on the back of a motorcycle, he was suddenly smart and edgy again. put those two guys TOGETHER though, and bob suddenly becomes the dumbest, sloppiest, most ill-informed pogacar and van aert fanboy on the planet, unleashing a constant stream of dim-witted, chuckling hyperbole, and christian is his enabling toady. yuk. after GCN folded i had to listen to wayyyy to much of their โdumb and dumberโ show. they must be separated forever.OCexile08-11-2024
- Good news. Cycling world at least doesn't have rampant racism. But, I think it is partly because it is hard to dislike Biniam. He seems like a jolly good person even though he's a sprinter. Some sprinters are very aggressive/cocky.

- It will be a great race until the stage where it's not. Jonas can only hope for injury or illness to Pogacar. And Remco? There's no training, food, or technology that going to grant him 9 extra minutes in this race.Sweep08-11-2024
