Teams & Riders Everybody needs a little bit of Roglstomp in their lives

[Scarponi]

Quit tonight and go to the Veulta. Something has to be salvaged. Can’t *** believe it

 

[Rackham]

Sh*t sport.

This shouldn't happen. It's not possible to be taken out like that. It ruins the race.

 

[kn0s]

Damn, that's just so sad. Was looking forward to a good battle with Remco or even better if they fade.

 

[houtdffan]

I guess if he can not follow team pacing it would be over on Saturday anyway. Poor guy just can't catch a break from bad luck.

4 years in a row is not bad luck. He simply cannot handle a bike. This is worse than even Contador and Remco

 

[Gigs_98]

Yeah I think that was it. It looked like his team wasn't even going at full speed to make sure he doesn't get dropped. Eisel who works for RB even said so on German Eurosport which gives me an even worse feeling about this. Let's see if he starts tolorrow but I wouldn't be shocked if he abandons today. What an absolute travesty. The battle between the big four has been so much fun.

Unbeliavable the disrespect to Roglic.

I asked yesterday why Roglic wasn't listed for the olympics....

Pogacar doet opvallende uitspraak tegen Evenepoel: "Roglic? Je hoeft hem niet te vrezen"

Opvallend beeld na etappe elf van de Tour de France. Tadej Pogacar en Remco Evenepoel zitten achter het podium te wachten op de podiumceremonie, waarna Pogacar zijn jonge concurrent een bijzondere raad geeft. “Maak je geen zorgen om Primoz Roglic”, klinkt het. Evenepoel en Pogacar hebben het na...

Was he right or was he right, though?

 

[Froome]

I am his biggest fan but this crash shows me he does not know how to ride a bike. He was going twice the speed of everybody else. How did he not see he needs to brake and avoid...

I don't think it was his fault today.

 

[Barnacle Bill]

Really sad, was looking forward to seeing him in the mountains and the signs were looking pretty good yesterday. But most of all, devastating for him to crash yet again in this race.

At this point, being religious or not, we, people interested, can hold hands and pray, for our broken up human, not much more to do than that. Some time unfortunately shifted, shoulder took a hit, frankly it doesn't look good.

Lets first try to get it through the night and to build on that.

 

[Froome]

He wasn't talking about Roglic being eliminted by a crash.

 

[Rackham]

Watch the overhead & then try to say it's his fault. I mean WTF.

It's a freak accident.

 

[memyselfandI]

Awful bad luck for him again..

 

[theyoungest]

Watch the overhead & then try to say it's his fault. I mean WTF.

It's a freak accident.

It's not his fault necessarily, but Bora didn't exactly keep him in a great position. Not just today, basically in every stage.

I mean... he's not dead Abi

I saw a slow motion and today fall happened just before him. He did not swirl and fall on breaking it seemed. So for once I would call it back luck.

 

[theyoungest]

Girmay has a 111 point lead in the points classification. Green jersey is pretty much decided.

Are you suggesting that Roglic was going for the green jersey?

 

[Carols]

Rogla and the TdF just don't mix. Not his fault but he loses 2 minutes . Who caused that debacle?
I hope he feels better and at least gets a stage.
Gutted......

 

[Rackham]

It's not his fault necessarily, but Bora didn't exactly keep him in a great position. Not just today, basically in every stage.

That's a different conversation. I'd agree as well. I even noticed Rog by himself sitting behind Evenepoel with 20km to go before he drifted back to be with his teammates.

 

[dercuforever]

Sad, just sad. All that work thrown in the gutter. 4 years in a row.

 

[Netserk]

Sigh. At least we had one good day yesterday where he showed some signs of life. More than we've come to expect over the years.

To fall on his operated shoulder. *** ***

He won't be on the start tomorrow. Right shoulder.

 

[Didinho]

Hope he’s somehow okay to start. But it didn’t look good. You always want to beat your rivals fair and square. A shame.

Another Vuelta win incoming.

 

[IndurainsTdF1994]

He wasn't talking about Roglic being eliminted by a crash.

He wasn't? He said Roglic is not relevant, but didn't specify the reasons. Whatever you may imagine the reasons were, what he said was 100% right.

 

[theyoungest]

That's a different conversation. I'd agree as well. I even noticed Rog by himself sitting behind Evenepoel with 20km to go before he drifted back to be with his teammates.

Of course he crashed regularly on Jumbo as well, but I get the feeling the communication and the support was significantly better there. He just seems like a separate entity on Bora, the team is supposedly built around him for the Tour but I don't see it in the race itself. Whether that's his own fault or his team's, probably a bit of both.

 

[Froome]

He wasn't? He said Roglic is not relevant, but didn't specify the reasons. Whatever you may imagine the reasons were, what he said was 100% right.

Of course he was talking about being better physically.
