VIDEO | Primoz Roglic crashes during Giro d’Italia time trial recon

Things are going from bad to worse for Primoz Roglic at the 2025 Giro d’Italia. Already over two minutes down on race leader Isaac Del Toro following a nightmare gravel stage on Sunday, the Slovenian has suffered another setback, this time during the recon of today’s crucial time trial.

Roglic crashed during his morning reconnaissance of the 28.1-kilometre route from Lucca to Pisa, sliding out on a right-hand bend made treacherous by rain. The asphalt was reportedly soaking wet and dangerously slick in sections. He remounted and completed the recon, but questions now hang over how much damage he sustained.

The former Olympic time trial champion was expected to claw back some of his GC deficit today. Now, it’s unclear whether the crash will impact his performance, either physically or mentally, as he tries to limit further losses. He is scheduled to start his effort at 16:13 local time.

This latest incident only deepens the growing sense of misfortune that seems to follow Roglic at the Giro. Can he turn this disaster around?
