Primož Roglič has to abandon the Tour de France

A crash on Wednesday, a crash on Thursday – on Friday morning it was decided that Primož Roglič will not start the 13th stage of the Tour de France. He will now recover and set his sights on new goals.Around 2,115 kilometers had already been completed and Primož Roglič was right on target: in 4th place overall, with a clear gap to the chasers and within reach of the podium. And, above all, in shape for the tough Tour finale. But a crash 12.4 kilometers before the finish of stage 12 through no fault of his own ended his dream of the yellow jersey. For Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe, the Tour plan is now changing. The last nine stages are all about stage wins. Rolf Aldag“We have 6 world class riders here and the Tour de France is not over until Nice. We have to reset, out of respect for the race, out of respect because all these riders have spent 10 weeks away from home preparing. We should not give up! But we should set new goals.”
