So a targeted attack, taking out just Rogla, the precision amazes me i will give them that. Looks like no broken bones but likely some severe pain involved. One positive being mountains on the schedule the day after tomorrow, so if Rogla by any chance gets on the bike tomorrow, to work with that.

That's probably it. Insane bad luck.

This Tour seemed different. Pog with the Giro in the legs, Vingo with that ugly crash, a new team around him... but it turned out to be more of the same. The two mutants still untouchable, him still isolated in critical moments.

And the feelings of disappointment, anger and sadness do not change too...

Damn, even with bruised shoulder, Rogla still looks like the lethal weapon. Hang in there champ.

When the crashed happened he was shoulder to shoulder with a DSM rider to his left. That rider saw the crashing Astana rider and started braking, Rog was oblivious. He must learn to anticipate better and be aware. That being said there is still an element of bad luck and I feel gutted for him. My TdF watching experience is also ruined...

Yes. He was unfortunate to be in the wrong spot at the wrong time when the crash of others happened on that *** road, but he didn't give himself good odds of coming out well of that encounter. So frustrating.

Not only he is not braking but he is peddling whilst the Astana is falling down and the other around him are braking...

Yeah, agreed there's just some bad luck. But if you watch the overhead, like 5 maybe 6 riders got past the crashing Astana rider and Roglič just crashed (as you say) into people braking in front of him. Positioning, awareness, and reaction time were also factors here. Shame.

He looked pretty scraped up, but he's tough. I think he'll continue, and his shape is really good overall. I think not the last we've seen of Roglič in this Tour.

He landed on his right shoulder. There's no point in starting tomorrow.

If he does continue and realizes on stage 14 that he can't follow the pace, I think he should just let it go, try to recover as well as possible and go for a stage win on stage 19 or 20. I think that's what would be best for the mind, anyway.

Now the most important thing, why do we have so many sprint stages? They made already 2 decisions that decrease the risk of massive crashes (1 - 8 riders per team; 2 - Tough first stages) but they still don't understand we HAVE SO MANY SPRINT STAGES!! WHY?
EDIT: Wrong thread
