Roglic, the fall and the ghosts of 2020. What if the Tour wasn’t his race?

The Slovenian’s last three participations in the French Boucle look like a Rembrandt and now to avoid a new gloomy ending, a masterpiece will be needed

There is a photo of Primoz Roglic on the ground after the fall. He is neither sitting nor lying down, he seems perplexed. He’s wearing glasses but he’s looking over the lenses, as if he’s looking for something he’s missed. In the next shot he takes his left knee with his hands and puts his shoulder back in place. I had gone out again, I already know how to do it, I take my knee and pull hard. But I can’t know how I’ll be tomorrow !, he will tell after crossing the finish line two minutes and eight seconds after the other Slovenian, the child, the one who has already won two Tours and now it seems almost three. Tadej Pogacar.
