That was actually very much out of character for Roglic. He needed to crash out of I don't know how many GTs before he finally blamed someone else.
Wow, he bounced back up so quickly after going down, shows it didn't break his concentration.
Neverjetna sreča Slovenca, potolčenega Belgijca pa čakajo težki dnevi
Primož Roglič se je mojstrsko rešil padca dva kilometra pred ciljem, kjer je po tleh kot prvi zgrmel svetovni prvak. Remco Evenepoel: "Vse me zelo boli, bomo videli." Nič ni zlomljenega, a zato je svetovni prvak staknil velik hematom na desni strani.

First crash this season on stage 5 and another one avoided by demonstrating some proper bike handling skills. Looks like and hopefully only some minor injuries involved. Bouwman rapidly giving Rogla his bike and Affini bringing him back. Some proper team work. Hopefully tomorrow riders get through the stage with less crashes.
What? If it's not his bare ass looking at you after his crash then he should be fine.

By that logic, Remco probably doesn't have GC hopes either.

Could be so weird that after all the Remco vs Rog build-up, a crash-free Thomas wins the race.
No crash today on stage 6. Flat tire and that was it. His team again doing a good job bringing him back. Rogla dropping a couple of team member while doing so. Jersey got torn due to Rogla doing what Kuss did a couple of days back. And rear tire doing the rest. Small bandage on the right leg was there due to a small cut from yesterday. All in all Rogla was not affected by yesterday in any meaningful way.
Tomorrow it's time again for stretching the legs a bit! Fingers crossed.

It looks as if he thinks he is ski jumping.I guess this is where he ripped his shorts
You won‘t believe me, but that is exactly what I thought when I saw the picture…

Tell me that you've never watched ski jumping without saying that you've never watched ski jumping.

What kind of tire compound is he riding on wet roads? This pic makes traction look like a fantasy.

You keep your stomp holstered unless (at least) bonis are involved.
Not much action on stage 7. Considering on how it went i feel that Rogla raced smart. Maybe some GC action tomorrow on the ultimate climb. We'll see.

Job done so far IMO, i.e. the most important job: survive week one.
I said before the Giro a gap of two minutes behind Remco after Sunday wouldn't be unexpected & I stand by that. I also said Rog is going to win this Giro.
Last year Jai Hindley put 1:30 into Carapaz in only a few km's right at the end of the Giro. Whether it works or not for Rog is almost besides the point because the simple fact is Jumbo said he's aiming to peak in the 3rd week, therefor that's where the heavy attacks will come.
If Evenepoel withstands those attacks then he'll be a worthy winner. But Rog will attack, for sure. We might even see some skirmishes today before the ITT because teammates in particular get two rest days when the time trial is situated the day before a rest day.

Let's find out who's gonna be "nervous" later in the race, when they find out they haven't gained enough time to hold on in the last week. Remco is gonna need a sheepdog to round up all the attacks he's gonna face.
