Primož Roglič heads into the Tour de France stage 5 time trial already down on time and chasing his GC rivals with a 1:27 deficit to second-placed man Tadej Pogačar, with the Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe leader saying he's been "suffering" during the early stages of the race.

So far, the Slovenian has avoided the crashes and bad luck which have plagued him in recent editions of the Tour, though he said it has been a "tough start" this July.
