Damn. Not surprised but very disappointed. I’ve said it on here many times, but being a Roglic fan = being a 2011-2017 Contador fan. I know firsthand. Nothing seems to come together, bad luck always strikes, but there are still moments of greatness and victory (but not the big one).

yes, today wouldve been a good day to have a breakaway stage with a calm peloton. there's so many sprints so Cavendish could have a lot of chances to break the record.
So it looks like right knee took a hit too, as there is a cut involved. Best to wait for the official statement and to build on that.
P.S. In GC Rogla is now placed 6th and 04:42 down on leader.

In fairness it was bad luck, although at times you make your luck by being at the very front like Tadej, Remco and Jonas were.
Ok, that was really bad luck. It was more or less directly in front of him.
But since I was not watching - why didn't they make it back way closer? It was the full team (apart from Hindley - why didn't he wait)? Seems like a huge gap. Was Roglic unable to get up quicker (which would be a very bad sign)?

I could react quite bitterly about the whole Cavendish stuff but at the moment the whole thing is still too raw. The fact it's Lutsenko who went down when he's a climber who shouldn't even be part of a sprint train is just the icing on the WTF cake.
I guess the reality check which awaits Cav is the fact... no one really cares about his record. It was fun folklore for five minutes but within a few days after the Tour Sir Mark Cavendish will be just another knighted British sports champ along with all the others, like Sir Bradley Wiggins & co.

It really was bad luck.
Anyone who forensically analyses the footage looking for reasons to blame Rog is just taking the p*ss.

Rogla wasn't able to ride faster. The team would have dropped him if they went full gas.

I like Roglic and have supported him all the way till 2022 Vuelta, it’s his fans I don’t like.
It was definitely bad luck. But at the same time some other riders would have been able to avoid it.

It was actual surprise, I haven’t watched the stage and just reading through the notifications from last night and that was the first one. Go back into your hole.

can I say (as a remco fan and someone who thinks yesterday's ruling was absolutely ludicrous) I am very sad that Rog has crashed. I was really enjoying the fab four coming through for us fans!
now, those Rog fans claiming Remco fans are all rejoicing, are painting with a very broad brush and likely projecting. I expect those same posters will likely throw a party on here when Remco eventually succumbs to his eventual bad day in the mountains. they will be overjoyed and relish telling Remco fans "I told you so".
the way I look at it is that both Rog and Remco provide a slightly more human counterpoint to the two ETs.

Luck comes and goes, Teams have smooth runs like Sky and Jumbo and UAE have had, then luck swings around and you can't get a break. UAE will see that swing around too at some point just as Jumbo have this year. Roglic is just Roglic, the Geraint Thomas of Bora that's all.

To celebrate a rival being unable to tolerate the fatigue of the Tour is not the same as celebrating a crash. BS false equivalence.

I’ve said last year I don’t think he can come back since he’s older and the injuries. I then gave him credit for his Giro TT and Angliru. I’ve never talked bad on his riding style or held it against him or called him a wheel sucker.
For just finding out when I clicked on his thread that he crashed and that was the last post on the page? I asked genuine question and I get attacked saying I’m popping the champagne.
Mostly two of them.
