'Not the Best Scenario, but It's Life' – Primož Roglič Hit by Car Driver in Training, Forced to Miss Build-up Races for Vuelta a España
The Slovenian rider showed a bruised leg after the crash and said he will miss both races as he builds toward the Vuelta a España.
- On Friday, Primoz Roglic revealed on Instagram he was struck by a car during a training ride earlier this week, forcing the Slovenian cyclist to withdraw from the Clasica San Sebastian and Vuelta a Burgos.
- Rogli, 36, opted against racing the Tour de France this season to focus exclusively on the Vuelta in Espa, having ridden only 28 race days before this training incident, including the Slovenian National Championships.
- Sharing a photo of a heavily bruised leg, Rogli wrote, "Got hit by a car few days ago," adding, "Not the best scenario, but it's life, eh," while maintaining focus on the Spanish Grand Tour.
- Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe will still compete in the San Sebastian race led by Tour de France runner-up Remco Evenepoel, while Rogli aims to be fit for the Vuelta start on August 22 in Monaco, describing recovery as "all systems go."
- Chasing a record fifth Vuelta title, Rogli faces a three-week race to regain fitness before August 22, though potential competition from Tadej Poga may challenge him if Poga returns to the Spanish Grand Tour seven years after his debut.
