Itzulia Basque Country 2024, April 1-6

Bora will have to send more guys back to bring him back.

For what? He will DNS tomorrow

 

[saunaking]

just turned in... WTH happened to Rog?

He fell, was checked over by the medical team and allowed to continue, then a bunch of forum experts and eurosport commentators said he should be pulled from the race

 

[Filippo_3467]

No way. This race is over for Rog GC wise. It's just about getting to the finish line. They are also not in a hurry to close the gap.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Ineos are soft-pedalling a bit at the bunch here out of courtesy I think but can't hang around when the climb starts

 

[Salvarani]

For what? He will DNS tomorrow

Huh? We dont know that yet.

And they should definitely be sending everyone back now, except for Hindley.

 

[RedheadDane]

He looked dazed, but there are no marks on his helmet, and his face is not bleeding. I think maybe he was just shocked to have fallen. If he'd hit his head that hard, his helmet would show, and they would have had to give him a new helmet.

Hope you're right.
Of course, that doesn't change the fact that he might have hurt other parts of his body...

 

[Elos Anjos]

I haven't seen the crash. Why are people statint he won't start tomorrow?

 

[Wvv]

Ah, such a shame. Looked forward to Vingo VS Rogla VS Remco VS others. Hope he recovers well.

 

[Salvarani]

Jungels back now I think, good.

Forum concussion protocol:
Check for concussion
Concussion symptoms: take out of race
No concussion symptoms: take out of race

 

[Volderke]

Huh? We dont know that yet.

And they should definitely be sending everyone back now, except for Hindley.

Roglic has 2 guys with 30K and a climb in the end so no chance of getting back.
He only needs 2 guys so all others can just stay in the bunch in support of Hindley, me thinks.

ou... so business as usual for him... sadly

maybe not. peloton is soft peddling.

I do not understand this mentality of not pressing on after a crash. In F1, you crash, the field does not allow you to make repairs before continuing to race

 

[Netserk]

 

[AnotherArmChair]

Bora need to send someone back and to help save his race

dont know how he will feel tomorrow but now need get him back

 

[Berniece]

Even if he makes it back, and even if he starts tomorrow, based on how he looked it'll hurt for a couple of days. Now we'll never know if he was back being the old Roglic or still a bit like in Paris-Nice

 

[Elos Anjos]

The stupid Eurosport Kirby said that Roglic is missing a few burgers in his hip.

 

[Samu Cuenca]

Roglic can't ride his bike

If he had still been riding for Visma, they'd have sorted that by given him his one of his teammate's bikes instead.

Let's hope he's alright.

Just bring him to the caravan and he can use the cars.

Adria and Jungels should definitely be brought back, I think Jungels is there now on the front.

Hindley and Schachmann can stay in the bunch.

 

[Tim Cahill]

Problem is the lack of faith in the concussion protocol due to past events, Adam Yates was allowed to carry on recently and had no idea where he was and started asking teammates what happened.

 

[Potomac]

maybe not. peloton is soft peddling.

I do not understand this mentality of not pressing on after a crash. In F1, you crash, the field does not allow you to make repairs before continuing to race

This isn't F1

they need to keep couple guys in front to help him after the climb.

Hindley and Schachmann can stay in the bunch.

At one hand I thought (like everyone) to just leave Roglic with some team mates so he can just finish the stage.

On the other hand, if Roglic is not hurt too seriously, he should still have the legs to be in the mix and the team should TTT its way to the peloton towing Roglic.

He is old Roglic alright ...crashing

It's just not being a d1ck. That's the mentality
