Mountain Bru Posted July 11 Share 6 hours ago, Bub Marley said: I blame Mountain Bru. The man has had it in for him since day 1. Na, ironically, I haven't considered at all that he'd crash out, which is strange knowing that Roglic tends to do Roglic things. I've just been honest about him getting dropped. If he's not injured, I think he can still get on the podium, but Bora had to soft pace him to the line, so I'm assuming he's actually far from 100%. Wouldn't be at all surprised if he DNS's tomorrow.

Irvin85 Posted July 12 Share I wonder what the reason is for Roglic crashing all the time, is he taking too many risks or laps in concentration, poor positioning in the peloton or just plain bad luck. He looks so comfortable handling the bike but still falls more than any other guy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks so comfortable handling the bike but still falls more than any other guy... I was just contemplating that. It certainly seems that he hits the deck more often than most. From what I see, it doesn't seem to be too many risks. Possibly concentration and poor positioning. Wednesday's crash just seemed to be bike handling - others went through there ahead of him faster and safer. But we only see what we get shown. There's a myriad of other possibilities. But I suspect it's owing to the soft squishy stuff that sits on the saddle and holds the bars. It's a bummer because after his missing out on the tour in that ITT, we all want more for the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepeekaitjie Posted July 12 Share As a child, Roglič stole a shimmering trinket from a gypsy's market stall. The gypsy caught him and placed a curse on him, promising a life of highs and lows. Despite his cycling successes, he has been haunted by mysterious misfortunes ever since. Shebeen, JayLow, NickGM and 4 others 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DieselnDust Posted July 12 Share despite this last crash being very little fault of Primoz I just wonder if there's an underlying balance or peripheral vision issue? Anywya that's his business and I hope whatever the issue is, that he has it under control. The saying no skin left in the game sometimes just rings too true with Primoz and I feel for the guy. He's a highly likable chap, the kind you want to see win Prince Albert Cycles, Underachiever and Mook 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
