Overview
- Primož Roglič said he was struck by a car while preparing for the Vuelta and announced he will skip the Clásica San Sebastián and the Burgos-Rundfahrt.
- He published an image showing a large bruise on his thigh and described the situation as "not the best."
- Roglič and his Red Bull–Bora–Hansgrohe team say preparation will now be directed at the Vuelta a España, which starts in Monaco later in August.
- No independent medical details or a definitive prognosis have been released, leaving Roglič’s actual ability to start the Vuelta uncertain.
- Roglič is a four-time Vuelta champion and his absence from the warm-up races removes a planned first shared start with teammate Remco Evenepoel and could alter team tactics at the start of the Vuelta.
