Roglic emphasized that the responsibility for the fall lies with his opponent in the finish sprint. “I have come to the conclusion that the way this accident happened is unacceptable,” said the Jumbo-Visma driver, clearing up speculation about the incident.
“Not everyone saw it correctly. The accident was not caused by a bad road or a lack of safety, but by the behavior of a driver,” he asserted. “I don’t have eyes on my back. Otherwise I would have been exposed to him.”
In addition, the 32-year-old took offense at the fact that none of his competitors took any notice of him. “It wasn’t right,” Roglic said.

“People move on quickly as if nothing happened. That’s not the way I want the sport to go on – and I want to make that clear.” He left it open whether Roglic would continue the season. “I can walk a bit again. I’m satisfied with that at the moment.”
