    Believe so, though that may have been the back injury in another later Tour
    Earlier Giro, wasn't it? The 2002 edition where he finished second (?) with a broken shoulder.
    Ah yes.

    That's it.

    Also famous as the race that introduced Cadel Evans as the GC contender, but with whatever cycling's equivalent is of "a glass jaw" and the top 3 Italians suffering “technical” ko’s.

    Either roglic has a history of dislocating his shoulder (and therefore being able to pop it back in fairly easily) or it was a Contadoresque dislocation.

    Tyler Hamilton broke his collarbone on Stage 1 of the 2003 Tour and came 4th overall and won a third week stage with a 142km solo breakaway.

    These people are built differently.
    Tyler was on epic amounts of gear as well.
    Didn't realise EPO healed broken collarbones
