The Jumbo-Visma team have announced that Primož Roglič will not start stage 15 of the Tour de France, with the rider pulling out of the race so that he can recover from the injuries he suffered during stage 5 on the Paris-Roubaix cobbles. 

Roglič crashed hard when a hay bale was apparently moved into the road by a race motorbike. He dislocated his shoulder, put it back in himself and then chased for 30km but lost two minutes to his overall rivals.
