A striking detail is that analyst
Thijs Zonneveld already warned this morning about a similar pavement. After the reconnaissance of the stage,
Zonneveld wrote on his X account ahead of the stage: "These kinds of passages are, as far as I'm concerned, a middle finger to the riders. On a descent through a village, not visible if you're not riding in front. If you hit this at eighty per hour, you'll be launched. A lick of paint and done."
After Roglic's fall, he of course immediately reacted. "Huge crash. And not coincidentally at a low curb in the middle of the road."
