(Reuters) – Primoz Roglic will not start in the stage 13 of Tour de France following a crash the previous day, his team Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe said on Friday.
The 2023 Giro d’Italia winner Roglic was brought down 12 km from the finish line on Thursday, a day after losing 25 seconds after another crash on stage 11.
“Primoz Roglic underwent careful examination by our medical team after yesterday’s stage and again this morning. The decision has been taken that he will not start today,” Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe wrote on X.
Roglic was sixth in the standings after he finished Thursday’s race.
