VIDEO | Primoz Roglic crashes during Giro d’Italia time trial recon
CyclingTuesday, 20 May 2025 at 12:54
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?

leedorney04-07-2025 - I hope Remco all the best in this 'tour, shake it up, as Jonas is boring as, Pog. like a jack in the box 😁leedorney04-07-2025
- You obviously do not believe in Remco... me either. ;-)averagecyclist04-07-2025
- This compared to Roglic interview is a dream...leedorney04-07-2025
- Roglic gives THE WORST INTERVIEWS ever...they're awfull to follow 🙄 #carcrash maybe he's better in Slovenian 🤷leedorney04-07-2025
- My perception: Tadej is "heavier" in comparison to last year (in 2024 he was thinner than ever)... maybe is power to race the first stages? Thinking to loss weight later, for the last week? (mountains week).
maria2024202404-07-2025 - I love JA, but what is he talking about results? he hasn't done anything this year.mij04-07-2025
- and Richard Plugge is so annoying and self righteous.mij04-07-2025
- Richard Plugge is only partly correct. If he looks at the major crash that took out Jonas last year, you could blame the organizers for a bad road. but long before the stage, his team complained about the dangerous corners and roads. so what do they do in the race? the don't back off but instead they push it hard in the dangerous corner. is that the fault of the organizer or the rider?mij04-07-2025
- Win 33% of the stages with 16% of the riders? Big ask, but I recognize that Belgium normally pulls more than their weight; so I'll give Gilbert the benefit of the doubt. But I'm still sceptical of that claim.Ride197404-07-2025
