A day on from his second crash in as many levels on the Tour de France, Primož Roglič has pulled out of the race forward of Friday’s stage 13.
His Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe staff confirmed that Roglič won’t begin the anticipated dash stage to Pau, with the Pyrenees looming on the weekend.
Roglič, who earlier than stage 12 lay fourth total at 2:15, was one in every of a number of riders who hit the deck 12.2km from the tip of Thursday’s race to Villeneuve-sur-Lot. He crossed the end line sporting street rash and tears to his jersey at 2:27 down on the peloton and ended the day in sixth total, 4:42 behind race chief Tadej Pogačar.
“Primož Roglič underwent cautious examination by our medical staff after yesterday’s stage and once more this morning,” Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe introduced on social media. “The determination has been taken that he won’t begin at this time, to deal with upcoming targets.
“We want you a speedy restoration Primož.”
