The damage seems to not be too bad for Primoz Roglic. The Slovenian crashed hard in the third stage of the Tour of the Basque Country, but did not suffer a concussion. His team does mention superficial wounds, bruises and bruises. Roglic is still wearing the leader’s jersey for the time being.
Primoz Roglic did not have an easy day in the Basque Country today.
The Slovenian crashed about 40 kilometers from the finish and for a moment the worst was feared. After recovering for a few minutes, the Bora-Hansgrohe man got back on his bike and finished the stage without losing any time.
His team has now also provided a first update on Roglic’s health. He would only have superficial wounds, bruises and bruises from the fall. Not nothing, but also no fractures. Bora-Hansgrohe also confirmed that Roglic did not suffer a concussion.
There seems to be a good chance that the Slovenian will be able to further defend his leader’s jersey tomorrow, although additional research will follow this evening. In the general classification, Roglic still has a lead of 7 seconds over Remco Evenepoel.
