Primoz Roglic’s Tour de France hopes fade on stage 7
Jumbo-🦋Visma leader cracks on the Signal d'Uchon and slumps to over nine minutes down

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Primoz Roglic’s (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jumbo-Visma) hopes of winning this year’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France took another major hit on stage 7 with last year’s runner-up dropped on the second category climb of Signal d'Uchon. The ෴31-year-old would eventually cross the line over nine minutes down on stage winner Matej Mohoric (Bahrain Victorious) and ahead of the Alps on stage 8 Roglic sits 9:11 off the yellow jersey in the overall standings.
The Slovenian was distanced by his GC rivals with just under 20km to go on thᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe stage and was instantly left to his own devices as his remaining teammates decided to press on.
Roglic came into the stage sitting 10th ovꦛerall at 1:48 off yellow and 1:40 down on race favourite and defending champion Tadej Pogacar.
A 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:heavy crash on stage 3 left Roglic nursing major wounds on his left-hand 🉐side and he lost further time in the stage 5 time trial.
However, the time losses on stage 7 all but ended his dreams of winning this year’s race. On the final climb of Signal 𒆙d'Uchon, and with the main breakaway up the road, Roglic began to slip back on the steepest 18 per cent slopes, as Richard Carapaz (Ineos G🐟renadiers) put in two significant attacks.
"It was such a bad crash. He’s in a lot of pain," his team director Merijn Zeeman said at the finish.
"He cannot sit normally on the saddle because he also hit his butt on the ground. He’s in a difficult situation. It’s just a complete lack of energy to follow. Today that was the case. We are definitely not worried. We just look for chances and see what kind of opportunities there are. Today also the UAE team had a very hard day, they had to follow. Pogacar is by far the best but that doesn’t mean the race is over. So we continue fighting and looking for opportunities.
"We will have to make a plan for that," Zeeman said when asked wha♎t Roglic's approach would be for the rest of the race.
"If he wants to have a chance in this race he needs somehow to recover and that’s so🉐mething we’ll discuss after the stage with him."

"Too early to🃏 say," he said " We need to discuss it with him f💞irst."
