Michael Gogl and Jack Haig were also forced to withdraw from the Tour after a day of chaos yesterday.

But Jumbo–Visma's Roglic is still in the race despite dislocating his shoulder in a crash on Stage 5 caused by a safety bale that ended up on the road.

He patched himself up on the roadside and used a fan's seat to pop his shoulder back into place.

Speaking at the end of the day, Roglic said: "I then put my shoulder back in the socket myself. I couldn’t do that on the road, so I sat in the seat of a spectator. It worked there.

"I know from experience what to do in such a situation, but of course it was not nice.

"It was very difficult after my fall, but we still did everything we could. Now we first have to see how I can continue in this Tour."
