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

[SHAD0W93]

Or a lot of falling🤣😂

Other than that, cheer up guys and remember - no Rogla victory has ever come easy for him and his fans. This is just setting the stage for Saturday stomp (I hope)

2021 Vuelta was pretty easy but maybe that’s an outlier.

 

[Rackham]

TGH got talked about a lot in the race threads whenever he crashes, just like yesterday. He just isn’t as popular or has as many like/dislike compared to a Roglic or Evenepoel so it doesn’t spill over into his (small) thread.

There's also a lot of nasty stuff said (on X in particular) about riders when they crash. This applies to all of them. I try to ignore those sorts of comments.

Honestly of course it was sh*t (especially as he's leading GC in his new team for the first time) but I'd rather look for positives. It could have been way worse.

Very worse, hopefully it doesn’t hamper anything.

Which he probably learned by doing a lot of ski jumping

That's a fact. When learning to ski jump, part of the training is also how to fall.

 

[Extinction]

He has a quota of crashes to get out of the way each season. I hope that one was big enough to cover a few spills.

FYI (& this is a general response to all the usual stuff I'm reading on various sites) he's only talked about as a rider who 'crashes a lot' because he's also... a winner. Other riders crash all the time (like Tao GH yesterday, or David Gaudu), but nobody seems to care enough to talk about them.

And many of those other riders do actually hurt themselves pretty badly as well.

He is tough as nails, but could save himself (and his fans) some unnessecary drama? Like why was he on the outside of that curve? For you don't enter a curve on the outside at full speed.

 

[Elos Anjos]

Rogla can't catch a break.
And that goes on to his fans.
It takes one to know one.

No, thank you.

 

[CyclistAbi]

So a lot of areas affected by the crash, tomorrow competition likely to stress test and lets hope Rogla can endure.

One day at a time, defending.

Do you have a report from somewhere? More detail appreciated.

From official statements, concussion was excluded but there are a lot of cuts and bruises involving hip, knee, elbow ... Luckily it seems like there are no deep cuts involved, although the hit was rather severe. Decision to continue to be taken tomorrow before the stage start.

That's good news. I was pretty sure he was concussed watching him, glad that's not the case.

Go get em, tiger!

 

[Armchair cyclist]

I believe that Roglic today overtakes Froome as the active rider with most days in a leader's jersey in WT races.

 

[Jumbo Visma Fan :)]

Thankfully Roglic leaves in a team car in more of a ticked off fashion than a seriously injured one. Hopefully the team car is a sign there’s nothing to hold him up for the Grand Tour’s.

 

[Peyroteo94]

I know it is ironic but he has a great shot of winning the Tour. Maybe his last shot, but for god's s@ke, just stay on the bike.

 

[Krzysztof_O]

Crashes two days in a row. At least Primoz waved from team car and didn't look too bad compared to others.

 

[velaso montador]

Hopefully Roglic is okei and not something serious, he seemed in good effort so thats good atleast.

 

[Rackham]

I was happier (& mainly relieved) seeing him walk away from that little lot in a 'relatively' okayish condition than I've been watching many of his wins.

I mean it's horrible for the others but at this stage in his career, Rog can't really afford to get badly hurt. For example he doesn't have as much time left as Vingo.

Heal fast champ! And all the best to everyone involved in that horrible crash.

[Salvarani]

Roglic looked ok.

But two crashes, two days in a row... better to just abandon and heal those wounds now.

 

[Divergence]

Does somebody know who the EF rider is who crashed into Rog and brought him down?

Does it really matter? You have couple of miliseconds to react and not everyone will make the right decision for given circumstances. At those speeds and minimal distance from eachother it does take much to crash and take someone with you.

I posted in the race discussion:

I can understand some guys near the front overshooting the speed limit and crashing. But there were two EF riders who crashed. The one that crashed near Rog was the cause for Rog's crash and he had ample time to see what is going on and not be such an amateur. However, he decided to keep his speed, overtake Rog and then crash him...
===========================

I am interested because I believe that rider took a really unnecessary risk and it should be pointed out.

 

[Rackham]

I still think Rog has a lucky star watching over him.

i.e. escaping from that without anything broken was quite fortunate, tbh. Maybe we'll now see him race Flèche + Liège.

 

[Red Rick]

Back on the bike in a few days should indeed mean Ardennes IMO.
