Primoz Roglic High Speed Crash Before Sprint | Tour de France 2024 Stage 12 

He would win today had that not happened. He has to restart the sprint and still got just centimetres behind Girmay. Really unlucky, but he clearly has the power

😅 It's a shame because I think he would have won this time.

Why no one from Visma helps him? Like girmay’s teammates do. Sorry for dumb question 😅

@@nitindahiya6508they are busy making sure vingegaard doesn't do a roglic

​@nitindahiya6508 they're probably focused on protecting Jonas. They're going for the GC and that's their main/ only focus.

Think it has to do with the fact he was late getting into cycling. He was a ski-jumper before he became a cyclist. He started cycling at the age of 22.

@@Michiel1972 I know....same goes for guys like Jay Vine!

Hearing Roglic's name in a broadcast gives me the same emotional rollercoaster as hearing Richie Porte's about 5 years ago.

Rog crashes more in a season than valverde did in his entire carėer.

This Crash was obv avoidable

Has there been a winner coming from the barriers this year? He needs to position himself better

Agreed -- hes so big for a cyclist, but still...

@@arnienz1962yes biniam won a sprit from the barrier

no lead out train so always has to come around the edges, also might be deliberate for that reason ie you don't profit from our teams hard work

​@@morganconey2603he has laporte. Just struggles to hold laportes wheel

🇪🇷🥇👏🇪🇷🥇👏🇪🇷🥇👏

Is there a backstory to this nickname?

@@lucdk5 you need to ask Chris' parents

@@lucdk5la Porte is French for “the door”…

I don't even wanna know how much heads this joke went over :D I know French and even I needed to think about their team for a second.

@@lucdk5 hahaha tell me you don't know French without telling me :p

Yeah Girmay won this one fair and square, but Wout didn't lose it on his terms, in a way. Too bad we didn't get to see how it would have gone if they'd both had a clean lane, but great ride by both of them, and happy to see Wout looking strong in these final sprints.

another what if: what if UAE paid proper attention to Pogi's diet. Mistake cost him the stage and probably was the cause for Jonas coming back But you can't keep thinking in 'what ifs' of course

1. He was already going backwards when phillipsen put him into the barriers

Abandoned tour. It's a shame really

@@sgameirojr Yep

I was going to say, other than the heat, if he rode in downhill gear on sprint stages, it'd be hard to fault him... :P

Maybe a career in downhill mtb

Not aero

@@mqritz_ Ambulance isn't aero either.

Kevlar padding! Why more riders don't invest in it

He had plenty of time to practice (as it is not his first race) and he is still doing it... I'm hoping for another French victory but I'm unsure Demare has it in him. MVDP will not be missing every day, so he'll have to beat Bini, Philipsen, Wout, Cav, etc. It would be cool to see him win one last time on the Tour, but between 3 and 5 seem to be his real level against the other riders.

For those that don't know, the reason it is this colour is because of the Skoda sponsordeal

@@RubenTheCartographer I wonder why they changed their mind. Skoda has sponsored the jersey for years.

Still, Skoda could accept the light green as the standard colour. It's not like they're going to change the tone of the Yellow Jersey to Sunflower Golden

For me it’s Abrahamsen

Can I ask why? Genuine question.

@@ebikescrapper3925that solo breakaway was crazy, his recovery day to day to go again is insane, his lead outs for his sprinter are amazing even whilst in the polka dot, he’s just doing it all this tour! Pulling in the peloton etc. this is a fantastic advertisement to the big teams on the tour

Well obviously its got to be the Iceman Jonas Vingegaard. Miracle that guy even rides right now let alone possible win the whole thing

@MRHAPPY3210 Great summary. I have to admit he has been amazing leading the way. The tour is not finished yet so I might change my mind.

how would you describe his style ?

@@trash0risk smart and not wasteful

@@trash0risk clean, rarely blocks or cuts over (unlike phillipsen)

​@@trash0riskHe's very precise with choosing when to sprint. It's like he wants to win only based on skills. Classy rider

especially UP slopes

After he swings by the Kevlar store for padding

Not if kuss got anything to say bout that

@@hellohello-yi8yrkiss winning the vuelta is not the norm he won it once and he might never win it again.

@@FM19964 team sport. Kuss has the better team as bora has shown this TDF they are horrid as protecting primoz and putting him in safe positions

Roglic only wins when opponents are not the best. Roberto Heras has 5 vuelta wins and never a big win in tdf. When you are not able to win the tour once you will be never be a legend

@@pascalb.7126 he would have won the 2021 tdf if not for the crash i am certain of it, and if the scenario was reversed and pogi would crash out, Rog wins easely and suddenly he is a legend? flawed logic, he is and always will be an absolute legend at least in my eyes idgf, the best uphill sprint finisher and puncheur in the world if not in history, he is an absolute animal

Damn. Didnt see that one yet. It is a reason why I didnt support Cavendish his 35th win. He did this sort of riding and wheel chopping all the time. Should have had way more relegations.

@@MrVos-mh7qo I don't think Cavendish was left with a lot of options - the leadout man in red just stops pedalling in a group of riders going 60kmph. If he goes to his right he's squeezing eight riders towards the barriers, if he stays on line he crashes into the back of a decelerating leadout man. Left was the only option remaining

@@Fudgeis1337 Cav was on Bini's wheel and could have followed him past McLay, plus it looked like there was even enough room between Bini and McLay for him to squeeze through. He didn't have many options because he mistimed his move, then to save himself, he almost took Coquard out. If he waited a half second longer in Bini's wheel, he would've had a shot at winning. The left + left moves took him so wide he was next to Philipsen briefly. Also just seconds before that, when Teunissan was moving Bini up the left barriers, Cav had already swung from outside to inside then outside right into Bini like he was drunk.

Twins

Jasper and deviating

@@batmanoooooooo damnnnn

Bjarne Riis and EPO.

Wout and having a sprint ruined by someone who ends up relegated is a close combo

because this one was in sequence of alreay divided trains also 10cm divider is possible to jump over without need to roll over

Presume you mean bad luck 🍀

so much luck, but all bad!

I mean, if he falls that often I don't think it si about luck.

@@bengoodfellow1937 sarcasm

@@JanneBernards Omi opi, haybale and this (all the big crashes) were terrible luck

Ground magnet im dying😂

maybe he should have become a football player (imagine how many free kicks and penalties he would get) instead of ski jumper and cyclist

Luck? It’s not just a coincidence he keeps on crashing

His "luck" will change the day he develops some bike handling skills and situational awareness. Every time the guy crashes there are other guys around who have the same "luck" but manage not to go down (unless they get taken down by Primoz).

​@@biscaynediverSad but true...😏

Exactly, seems like very poor asset management by the DS.

so where is he looking at , a few seconds backwards ? One of those "Horner"-statements 😜

@@andretim75 The quote is not exact. It was made during the Criterium du Dauphine. And now Horner's words are confirmed. Roglic didn't look up to see what other riders in front of him were doing, and he could not judge what the situation would be in a few seconds. Horner was right to say this. Roglic relies on his physique, not on his technique or vision (that's why I like him, he is different, he is an athlete).

​@@andretim75fuck knows. But its not where he should be looking. He touched wheels before the Astana rider came down.

@@andretim75 Is he daydreaming a 1/4 second before he decides to do some unplanned gymnastics? He is either cosmically unlucky or there is another explanation. Horner's explanation was not very good but it involves lack of predicting/reacting-to upcoming situations. It is clear some riders are good at split second avoidance and it is also clear Primoz isn't. If there was ever a time to be on high alert it was going around a center barrier.

Froome?

@@fangru7294 yeah well a black African :)

@@danieletognozzi7641 should it be like black from africa or can it be like black from anywhere (USA, France etc.)?

@fangru7294 I would not mind more poc riders in general, but I guess being African makes their achievements more remarkable (considering the increased inequality and all the insane visa issues...)

​@danieletognozzi7641 yeah 1.2 billion people being held back by... denmark

What are they called now then?

the latter...😒

Brakes might have locked up if he pulled them too hard

dude are calling this bad luck HIS fault???

@@peterers3 I'm speaking in general, for all the crashes Roglic suffered in his cycling career...

​@@peterers3 well, GC teams are usually smashing it in the front to keep their riders safe before the safe zone, exactly for this reason - not to get caught in a crash. Bora was too far back, it's literally their fault. Not much to say - Tadej or Jonas would probably crash too if they weren't literally at the front.

@@peterers3 It isn't "luck" - are you seriously so blind you can't see 8 other guys between Lutsenko and Roglic all of whom slow and take evasive action, yet Roglic, CLUELESS, plows into it all at full speed, even with an extra 10 meters to react? The guy has NO situational awareness and incredibly poor bike handling instincts. Have you never noticed that with most of his crashes there are other guys around who face the exact same issue, but somehow manage to avoid unscathed, but he goes down? The guy's a shit bike handler.

2020 tour

@@JakobKenda it was rhetorical.
