Tour de France: the inevitable abandonment of Primoz Roglic, who became a model teammate after his fall

His gaze, black and bloodshot, when he arrived at the door of his team’s bus last Wednesday, at the end of the incredible stage of the Granon, could not deceive anyone; his difficulty in lifting his right leg to get off his saddle either: Primoz Roglic suffered. Enormously. However, an hour earlier, he had crossed the line with a raised fist, a smile on his face, alongside Sepp Kuss, despite being more than eleven minutes behind Jonas Vingegaard, the other leader of the team, to which he had just given everything, attacking his compatriot Tadej Pogacar from the Col du Télégraphe, then four times in the Galibier and one last time at the foot of the Granon, after being brought back downhill by Wout van Aert.
