Primož Roglič’s ability to fight for overall victory at the Tour de France after his crash at the Critérium du Dauphiné is still in doubt, with conflicting reports about his health and recovery. His partner Lora Klinc has gone as far as to suggest a final decision has still not been made on whether he will take the start in Nice on Saturday. 

Roglič abandoned the Dauphiné ahead of the final mountain stage after crashing hard the day before. He hurt his hip and suffered lots of road rash but Jumbo-Visma team manager Richard Plugge said he did not suffer a concussion.
