Not really.From what I know about Fred Wright, he isn't losing any sleep over what Roglic said in the past or what he may or may not have said in Slovenian in recent days.
But obviously it's still in Primoz's head.
So I don’t speak Slovenian and any translation of his comments would be appreciated. That said, the way it reads, the reporter’s comments seem a bit disingenuous. No, he didn’t mention Wright, but what he is reported as having said was,That's not what he said, he didn't even mention Fred in Slovenian interview.
Here is a response from the journalist who interviewed him:
I really don't like what Cyclingnews did here.
Simple, he was referring to the Wright incident.So I don’t speak Slovenian and any translation of his comments would be appreciated. That said, the way it reads, the reporter’s comments seem a bit disingenuous. No, he didn’t mention Wright, but what he is reported as having said was,
"I still stand by my words."
“I was asking myself if it was necessary to say or write anything. But then in the end why always be silent?
"I just wanted to express that I want to race in an atmosphere of fair play. That was my point. "I think I had to let it out," he added. "It’s easier for me to return now. Otherwise I might not even want to get back in the peloton."
If he’s not talking about that incident, what’s he referring to? If those quotes are inaccurate or if some context was deleted, it would be great to hear the details. But to say Wright wasn’t mentioned is entirely beside the point. That’s very different than “ he wasn’t referring to the incident with Wright.”
It's not pointless, as he clearly says "I still stand by my words." And this is just after Primoz remarked, in reference to the disputed incident, "I just wanted to express that I want to race in an atmosphere of fair play. That was my point." Hence, his position, as the CN article pointed out, has not changed one bit towards Fred Wright; namely that according to Primoz the Briton made a heinous infraction against the rules not "in the spirit of fair play."Transcript:

That's it and I'm done with this pointless drama.
Well obviously it's still in his head, he ended his season there without a chance for a GC podium or a win. You can't just let that go as Fred did, who himself said was already cooked at that moment and was just happy to be there. He didn't lose anything.From what I know about Fred Wright, he isn't losing any sleep over what Roglic said in the past or what he may or may not have said in Slovenian in recent days.
But obviously it's still in Primoz's head.
what the hell does this mean??Well, you give that guy some extra space/care aka respect in situations like that to avoid exactly what happened at the end.
I get what you are saying, in a rather old school manner: "show some respect lad!" Yielding to "his maesty" and voluntarily not going for the win doesn't count, however, when "his highness" misjudges the tragectory and, on the backfoot, runs into you from behind at full speed ahead.Well obviously it's still in his head, he ended his season there without a chance for a GC podium or a win. You can't just let that go as Fred did, who himself said was already cooked at that moment and was just happy to be there. He didn't lose anything.
I don't want to put words in other mouths but my impression of the whole ordeal is that Primoz was speaking about respect. You have a guy who made a selection of 5 riders out of a whole peloton, doesn't ask for help as he is fighting for the GC win to gain as many seconds as possible. Well, you give that guy some extra space/care aka respect in situations like that to avoid exactly what happened at the end.
That's fine of course, except this crash was his fault.Fred Wright comment is the least interesting bit in that interview. You don't make that comment if you're gonna backpedal after criticism, and it's also abundantly clear that even if the Wright crash was his own fault, he is still fed up with crashing out of big races outside of his own fault.
Thank you. So he does in fact stand by his words exactly as the CN article says. The reporter's earlier tweet is an attempt at deflection and comes across as some weird attempt to defend Roglič. Not that I'm a defender of idiotic clickbait titles...who is...but it seems clear that in this case CN's title is accurate. No one is making this a drama except Roglič.Transcript:

He gets asked about it, he answers. And clearly implies it's a done deal for him as well.Thank you. So he does in fact stand by his words exactly as the CN article says.

Glad he's done with it. Except he says that, but it doesn't really sound like it when asked.He gets asked about it, he answers. And clearly implies it's a done deal for him as well.
Some of you still don't get it. No, it's not accurate. It's misleading and they are using Fred as a clickbait. And also Primoz is not making any drama, he didn't say a word until this interview when he was asked. Oh and about that journalist, everything he said is true....but it seems clear that in this case CN's title is accurate. No one is making this a drama except Roglič.
I'll confess I don't get where you're coming from at all, no. What is misleading? Did he not say he stands by what he said? What he said, all of what he said, was blaming Wright whether he named him or not. Did he say anything to back off that stance? Not that I can see.Some of you still don't get it. No, it's not accurate. It's misleading and they are using Fred as a clickbait. And also Primoz is not making any drama, he didn't say a word until this interview when he was asked. Oh and about that journalist, everything he said is true.
That link explained nothing other than to confirm what we all read in CN. Is Roglič’s confusion catching?Yeah, whatever, think what you want, it's just too bad that you're wrong. I posted a link where everything is explained and I won't repeat myself.
Now you are just trolling or else suffer from willfully circumscribed thought. I already highlighted the phrase in which Roglic unequivocably confirms CN's article. There is no "greater context" unaccounted for or extrapolating beyond the reasonable to build a distorted impression of the Slovenian's viewpoint on the issue raised. He still "stands by his words" in feeling Wright made an infraction doing him wrong and that is that. Your link only comfirms this and so it is you who are wrong. Whereas stating otherwise whilst casting blame on someone else for missing the point in a patronizing way doesn't change this fact, but only makes you look like an idiot. Whatever else Roglic said in the interview doesn't make the CN article any less accurate on the point it chose to emphasize, which frankly was the only one worth reporting, despite your aparent refusal to accept this.Yeah, whatever, think what you want, it's just too bad that you're wrong. I posted a link where everything is explained and I won't repeat myself.
What Roglic could, should have said when asked would have been something like "Yeah, that heat-of-the-moment comment? I was wrong! I have apologised."Some of you still don't get it. No, it's not accurate. It's misleading and they are using Fred as a clickbait. And also Primoz is not making any drama, he didn't say a word until this interview when he was asked. Oh and about that journalist, everything he said is true.
So he decided to not translate the most important part?I wouldn't say a mistranslation, just that it was translated by a journalist and he didn't translate everything. Although he tried to explain later, some have accused him of only defending Roglič.
