MongooseMan Posted July 6, 2022 Share Roglic popped his shoulder in the crash, sat on a spectator's chair, popped it back in, then rode 4 more cobbled sectors to finish 😲 babse, Vetplant, TheoG and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is Roglic always looks like he's riding around looking for the accident. Tadej just looks comfortable and is using the force to steer clear of accidents and sure enough today we have Roglic crashing with Ewan.... MVDp doesn't even look like he's trying.

Yyyy Posted July 6, 2022 Share So does this mean Roglic is gonna go for another Vuelta...... DieselnDust and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yyyy Posted July 6, 2022 Share Hard to see Roglic losing so much time... Was really hoping he would take this one. As much as i like Pogacar, i was hoping for a tight race. Maybe Ineos or Vingegaard can still challenge him Vetplant and TheoG 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babse Posted July 6, 2022 Share Pre Tour many claimed Jonas to be in better condition than Primoz to challenge Poggie... Really hope Primoz is able to continue (and stay on his bike) and give Jonas some support for the rest of the tour.

Vetplant Posted July 7, 2022 Share Here is your 2022 "OPI-OMI" moment: PS. No blood and gore, but still very disturbing crash with the sound on. The riders love the spectators, but they also probably despise them sometimes... Velocirapture, TheoG, DieselnDust and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looked like he was in the hurt locker yesterday. He never grimmaces like that. But people are making too many conclusions this early, a grand tour is a 21 day game of chess, not blitz.

Perhaps 2 consecutive GTs is a stretch too far for everyone's favourite 'cross rider. Or, like one of the commentators suggested, he is doing as little as possible to just finish the Tour. I don't recall him mentioning going for stage wins (for himself). The mountain/hilly stages are on the way, we shouldn't forget that, and the riders are aware too. Yesterday's stage was a spectator's delight, but I don't think many riders were looking forward to it. DJuice and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 7, 2022 Share The Giro was MvdP's first Grand Tour that he completed, and he was in the break 6 times (over 600Km in the break). Doing two Grand Tours (31 days apart) might be a bit too much for him; who knows. DJuice and Vetplant 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edgarblount Posted July 7, 2022 Share I saw something on Twatter that got me wondering. In 2016, Froome apparently crashed and the crash was caused by an obstacle introduced by the organisers. He then subsequently got the same finish time as the peloton. The question was then asked, shouldn't Primož Roglič at least get the same finish time as the peloton?
