Why does it take so long for teams to send their list of riders?
I guess we still don't have a clear start list.

Oh, come on... you don't seriously believe that Colbrelli crashed Roglic on purpose?! Or that riders generally go around making other riders crash left and right.

In case Colbrelli-Roglic, I would say, after watching the video multiple times, that Colbrelli tried (and succeeded) to make Roglic crash so hard that it influences Roglic’ health for the further TdF.

From time to time, riders do that to other riders.

It actually never has consequences such as punishment by the authorities. Even when Theo Bos took down Impey from his bike (really extreme scenes; I never saw something like this before or after), it had almost no consequences for Bos. It‘s an issue about which there is not much talk. Offenders and victims both stay silent, normally. I suppose that works like this because the guys know they have to race against each other still on the next day…

What video? Coz the ones I've found didn't show any obvious making-him-crash action.
And you accused Roglic's GC rivals of constantly getting their bigger domestiques to crash him...

It‘s rather a feeling of mine, that, since they know some lack of bike handling skills at Primoz, they try to take advantage of that. Mostly, that‘s OK - it was just in case of Colbrelli where I was a little bit angry (that Sonny did not even get punished)… :)

So... when are you gonna post a link to that video where it clearly, without-a-doubt, shows that Colbrelli purposely made Roglic crash?

So Ineos have either decided not to bother with the Dauphine, or are challenging TGH or Dunbar to show something that makes them candidates for the Tdf squad. Interesting strategy.

I just searched on YT, but found nothing - maybe copyright issues…

I myself watched the incident live on ES player…

I remember Sonny hit Primoz intentionally, acted like he himself (Sonny) had problems staying on the bike, and immediately complained… I bet Colbrelli‘s thoughts before the incident were, „You wannabe GC winner won‘t disturb our fastmen trains here, up front. And I will teach you now to stay behind!…“… :(

The video I found doesn't really show exactly what happened, due to it happening a bit further back in the peloton.
So, the principle of "Innocent until proven guilty" applies. And also logic. What's most logical?
That Colbrelli made Roglic crash on purpose?
That it was a simple touch of wheels?

So Ineos saw the Giro and went hec, since Hindley won the Giro, now is the turn for Tao to show up his capabilities. Nuclear Tao incoming!!!!
TGH has been plagued by ailments the past year and a half. I'm pretty sure if he can train properly without illness he can go back to his 2020 level. I would bring him to the Vuelta in case his preparation goes according to plans in the coming weeks.
