Will still wait for his interview at the top of the hill. From a more official channel. Without VPN.
Woohoo.
I'm impressed. Better than quite a few out there. Very nice.

3rd today on day 2 after that brutal crash when he had put his shoulder back into its socket and chase alone. Very impressive and also a bummer because he clearly was in shape to contend. Beat Yates, Vlasov, GT, Martinez, Mas. If he'd been healthy I think he would have won that stage.
Yeah a non injured Roglic definitely could have won this stage.
Yep. When the chips are down in a mountain stage, you see what the TdF is really about & who the real strong riders are.
Jumbo did an abominable job protecting their GC guys over the first week. Again.
And yet they're the only team with a rider within a minute of Pogacar.
Much better than I feared. I thought it might be a similar situation to last year, but he seems to be doing ok. I hope this is as "bad" as it gets, and he'll start to recover.
Roglic is basically Nadal at this piont.
Always injured and hypothetically unbeatable if healthy

Vingegaard continues his record of never having put time into Pogacar in the mountains. Meanwhile his injured (dislocated shoulder , hip and lower back pain) teammate, and apparent 2nd in command, finished a few seconds behind him.
One wonders what would have happened if the team put full support behind their strongest rider from stage 1

Vuelta is his French Open.
With all the what ifs of healthy Roglic this and lucky Roglic that, he's becoming the new Landa.
Roglic never goes out without a fight. Slowly working his way up the GC. Vingegaard is going to be glad for his help in the Alps and Pyrenees.
Oh, I was so wrong. Really happy for Rogla, what a fighter and inspiration.Not looking good today.
It's hard to see honestly if he continues. You can't just fight through such an injury during a Grand Tour and then be good in the next Grand Tour.
In 2015 Contador won the Giro despite a heavy crash and that was probably his worst Tour de France.
I don't think it's a good idea to race two GTs in three months after a heavy crash. Just take a rest after Tour and prepare for WC RR and Italian classics (especially Il Lombardia). Probably also depends how Tour goes, if Jonas or Roglic wins, than there will be less pressure to win Vuelta. If they come short in Tour I could see pressure from the team to do the Vuelta. I don't see him as a very vocal person but I hope he can recognise what is good for him (and not necessary for the team), and decide accordingly.
It's Primoz we talk about... He did 2 GTs, WC and LBL in two months after a heavy crash and we know how that ended... Just hoping for the best at this point and that he somehow manages to stand on that podim in Paris... Today brings hope back
If he is among the three strongest on all mountain stages, we are in for a lot of yolo attacks. First one is on Galibier to link up to Van Aert.
Roglic won the Vuelta 3 Times. It means nothing this year. Unless he physically can't continue, he should fight as hard as possible the next 2 weeks
