There was a painful sense of déjà vu for Remco Evenepoel and Primož Roglič at the Critérium du Dauphiné on Thursday when they were among the fallers in the mass crash that caused the neutralisation of stage 5.
Unlike at Itzulia Basque Country in April, they were both able to remount and ride to the finish line in Saint-Priest, which suggested that neither man’s Tour de France participation is under threat as a result of a crash that saw more half the peloton come down.
