Puck Pieterse (Amerongse Berg) and family Roglic (Giro d’Italia) victims of theft

Pieterse saw her rain jacket stolen in her region on Thursday. "To the person who took my rain jacket while I was training on Amerongen: please return it,2 wrote the Fenix-Deceuninck rider on Strava.

Thieves are also active in Italy, as has been demonstrated once again. Primoz Roglic has already had a difficult few weeks, with four crashes and ultimately having to withdraw from the Giro d'Italia.

That was not the only setback for Roglic. While his wife and children were visiting him for the time trial to Pisa, thieves emptied the RV they were traveling in. "They broke into our RV in broad daylight," Roglic's wife, Lora Roglic Klinc, told Siol.net.

"They smashed the window and stole a laptop that was hidden in the bed, a cell phone that Primoz had brought back from the Olympic Games in Tokyo, money, and two rings," she said, assessing the damage after the theft.
