Giro d'Italia contender Primož Roglič crossed the finish line of stage 5 of the Giro d'Italia thanking his lucky stars after narrowly avoiding a serious collision in the first of multiple crashes that ripped through the peloton in a fraught finale.
"Happy to be here" was Roglič's succinct analysis of how he felt about the closing kilometres of the stage, which saw key rival Remco Evenepoel (Soudal-QuickStep) crash twice in one day.
