Primoz Roglic Has Withdrawn From Tour de France 2024, Rolf Aldag Speaks 

I really like Primož's philosophy, not to let such things burden you and affect your present/future performance. I think he will get stronger after this, people like him just don't give up and keep coming back. I wish him all the best in the recovery.

It’s hard to see Primoz going through these things over and over again. You wish that to Nobody. Doesn’t matter who’s fault it is, Primoz not competing is a loss for the sport.

He seemed to be getting stronger as well. I was really hoping to see Primoz battle it out like stage 11 or maybe even better later in the race. Really disappointed to see him have to drop out yet again. I was rooting for him to do well.

Roglic has the worst luck with crashes. It's too bad this year because he was looking stronger than I expected. I don't think he could have won, but podium was a possibility.

All the best for the recovery Primoz. I support you all the time and followed you to Bora can’t wait to see you back out there

A very philosophical attitude. Excellent directeur sportif.

Feelin so bad for Primoz, all the best and i hope he recovers quickly... next year i hope he can get it

There is a saying in the philippines pinagtagpo pero di tinadhana ( made to meet but not destined). Prime example roglic and tdf

Noticing Primoz having so many crashes, has he been checked for eye conditions that could explain his bad luck. Does he have Retinitispigmantosa (this restricts the peripheral vision over time). Being a cyclist myself with this eye condition I know how easy it is for accidents to occur because you just can’t see what’s beside you.

What a hero. And they even gave him a free 3km pass

I think the road furniture and traffic calming techniques these days are so varied and numerous from town to town, and their reaction time in milliseconds remains the same but they're riding faster and faster

Vamos

oh-oh, "we need to find new goals...redefine ourselves....."

Sad for Primoz

A big loss for TdF to lose Rogi, even if he was unlikely to win. He's been unlucky with crashes and it makes no sense to send him out there after yesterday's crash - at last, common sense prevails. Rogi might not get another chance at TdF, although I wouldn't write him off just yet, so maybe he can bounce back and set his sight on La Vuelta de España. Bora Hansgrohe now needs someone to step up to the plate, let's see who can take it on, at least to win a stage or two for Rogi and the team.

Primoz will be back!!!

It's disappointing as he will never win this one maybe even finish it. There is some problem with positioning, awareness and general peloton stewardship that will never get fixed as he is too old. And I don't believe at bad luck. Really exciting rider and will miss him tomorrow but hopefully he gets back for Vuelta. His team mates I never liked as I would surround him with more climbers and diesels. I guess the two German rider are injured (Kamna and Schachmann). This is also why I don't believe in more than 2 favorites in TdF. Just wondering if Ineos would have been a better fit?

When you take up cycling late and can’t ride a bike.

:text-green-game-over:

Bad luck and he is getting older. Not as aggressive as he used to be. Still a strong rider but not overall contender anymore.
