Po katastrofalnem razpletu zadnje etape dirke Pariz-Niza, na kateri je Primož Roglič, sicer daleč najboljši kolesar preteklega tedna, po dveh padcih ostal brez lovorike in nazadoval na 15. mesto, je bilo med uporabniki spleta moč zaznati prepričanje, da je bila Rogličeva smola povračilo za bolečino, ki jo je prizadejal Švicarju Ginu Mäderju (Bahrain Victorius).
Mäder je bil v sedmi etapi tik pred zmago, ko je Roglič silovito pritisnil na plin, izmučenega ubežnika ujel nekaj sto metrov pred ciljem in mu takorekoč red nosom speljal zmago.
Privoščljivih komentarjev ob porazu Rogliča je bilo na pretek, nekatere pa je še zlasti zabavalo dejstvo, da je Mäder v skupni razvrstitvi skočil pred Slovenca (10. mesto).
"Karma je pra*ica, Primož Roglič," je zapisal nek uporabnik twitterja. "Roglič je izgubil nekaj naklonjenosti, ko je Ginu Mäderju ukradel zasluženo zmago. Karma vrača udarec," je dodal drugi. "Vesel sem, da je Roglič izgubil. Karma je pra*sica. Kolesarji ne pozabijo," je odmevalo po spletu.
Oglasili so se tudi uporabniki, ki takšnih napadov ne podpirajo. "Ne razumem. Ljudje so jezni na Rogliča, ker je dobil etapo. To je njegova naloga. Zdaj, ko je padel in se mu je pripetila še mehanična okvara, pa so ti ljudje veseli, da je izgubil. Kolesarski navijači niso nič boljši od nogometnih. Roglič je še vedno car," se je glasil eden od zapisov v podporo Slovencu.

Roglic lost some sympathy yesterday by stealing a deserved victory from Gino Mäder, so today karma struck back.
Glad Roglic lost the Paris Nice race. His riding yesterday was really shitty. Karma is a bitch. Riders don’t forget this. #ParisNice

I still don't get it. People are mad because Roglic won the stage yesterday. That's his job. Yet he crashes, gets a mechanical and people are literally happy about it that he lost. 'Karma'. Cycling fans acting like football fans. Roglic still the Boss.

I want a nickel for every tweet that said karma doesn't work the way it just worked. Still, I feel badly for Roglič. Plus he rode most of the day with a dislocated shoulder. I'm totally square with Roglič. God knows whether the peloton feels like they've had their pound of flesh.

BTW I missed that Gino #Mader REALLY attacked today when #Roglic was chasing. Boy oh boy, that's just about 10 trillion tons of karma hitting Roglic there... 🤭😏😈 #ParisNice

I don't wish ANYBODY harm or to crash. EVER. But damn, #karma didn't wait much to strike #Roglic. Poetic justice at its finest. Hope Primoz is okay. #cycling #ParisNice

Po tej logiki ubežnikov zadnji par 100 metrov ne bi lovili :)
