FollowIn what comes as positive news for Slovenian cyclist Primoz Roglic, he has undergone medical attention on his injuries following a brutal crash during the ongoing Tour de France. While he is competing in Stage 4 of the race, his injury seems to be harsh.
During the closing stages of Stage 3, 9 km short, he suffered a nasty crash as he fell into a gravel roadside. Nevertheless, he was strong enough to finish the stage, while he immediately paid a visit to the X-Ray truck, where it was confirmed that he had no broken bones.
As he underwent medical attention on his injuries, he shared a picture of the same. He was bandaged all over his backside, along with his shoulders. “The situation is far from good. But, I had to smile, reading all the good wishes and positive thoughts you had sent me. The mummy will be on the start today and we will see how it goes! 🤞 Hvala. Thank you. Merci,” he captioned.
Ahead of Stage 4, Merijn Zeeman, director of his group Jumbo-Visma, said, “He’s wounded all over his body. A lot of sore bones. He’s in a bad situation. It affects a lot. Yesterday everything changed, unfortunately. It’s harsh, but we need to accept this. Sport shouldn’t be decided like this, but it has happened. Months of preparation and then two crashes in the first three days… but that’s how it is.”
“Hopefully, he can recover a bit, then we can see in the time trial. He’s an incredible athlete and an incredible fighter. He goes on the bike today and maybe, he will feel a little better. Tomorrow, he will have to go full. Hopefully, today, he can survive,” he added, reports Cycling News.
