Looking at some pictures on social media, he seems relatively fine all things considered. No visible cuts or anything.

Ridicolous and amateurish comment. Laughable!
Bora DS admits they underestimated Primoz Roglic's arrival: "We weren't really aware of what it means to have ridden for another team for eight years"
With second place on stage 2 and another podium in Wednesday's time trial, Primoz Roglic seems to have finally found his good old legs at Critérium du Dauphiné. Just in time ahead of the Tour de Franc...cyclinguptodate.com
He mentions Paris-Nice, where Roglic seemed like he was missing something in the race, as an example. "The weather was bad. The jackets that Primoz wore at Visma were different from ours. One day he almost froze to death on his bike because he didn't know what to wear. It often involved simple things like this."
"We weren't really aware of what it means to have ridden for another team for eight years, to know every detail there and then to arrive in a completely different set-up. It was about simple questions. How do I feel in my racing jersey? Do I wear arm or leg warmers and don't they strain too much? We should have found out in advance."

He'll have his shoulder checked this evening (fingers crossed he's okay).
It looks like it could have been much worse.

Best case scenario would be a shoulder bruise. Worst case ... don't want to think too much about it.

Once more I find myself hitting the refresh button on social media waiting for Rogla health updates.
But seriously though based on the impression he gave afterwards, I'd say they're just being cautious. My gut tells me he's fine.

What does that mean?
He frolics to the finish?
Jumps from wheel to wheel with his strong legs leaving pone final jump towards the line?
He lies in wait and surprises the insect (Evenepoel) with his fast tongue (legs)?
Rides up the climbs like a frog jumping from lily pad to lily pad?

It means he's still in the green jersey, or at least I hope it has nothing to do with his tongue.
Unfortunately this guy can't stay on the bike. There is a low chance he can stay on the bike from today until the last stage of the Tour.

It's only an ethical issue to fans with zero experience racing. Making it a negative characterization is usually the default of disgruntled opponents which is why you seldom hear a racer go on a rant about it; they all do it.

First of all, I used to race, just not at this level 😂 Secondly, racers don’t complain about each other in public, only to each other. But not that Roglic would be someone they really complain about though, there are other riders that do get a name for not putting in the effort and then dropping their co-riders

What Roglic does with his tongue is his own business.

Well that depends on what he does with. Licking ice cream is perfectly fine, but sucking wheels is a deadly sin in parts of Belgium.

So another crash. But there's always hope for an improvement tomorrow - he may stay on his bike this time!

He could also win the stage. That would be a very Rogla thing as well.

So why continue to waste energy complaining about Roglic?
If a rider limp-dicks and entire breakaway and then tries to take the win it can be frustrating. That still makes it the other break-mates' obligation to ride him off the back of a break until they take a pull. It works pretty well, particularly when things get sporty.

What do you mean complaining about Roglic? Someone asked is he a wheelsucker, I said yes. And then other people started complaining again, that’s it. I never started the discussion. I think he rides very well to his strengths.

I hope he will, and he will if he’s in form. When he isn’t winning he can be quite the attractive rider
This thread has gone to the dogs with the pages of wheelsuck discussion while in the here and now he is racing, preparing for the tour with a new team and and falling off his bike.
Save it for the off season - otherwise there will be nothing to talk about when there is literally nothing to talk about.
