‘I don’t like it, but I can’t change it’ – Primož Roglič accepts 20-second time penalty at Vuelta a España

The legendary football manager Vujadin Boškov tended to draw a line under polemics about decisions that went against his Sampdoria team with a simple phrase and philosophy. “It’s a penalty when the referee blows his whistle,” he would say, reasoning that such debates were both a distraction from the task at hand and a costly waste of energy.

Primož Roglič, it seems, subscribes to the same worldview as the Serbian soccer coach.
