Chapeau Hugh,great ride ! Roglic looking like it's his to lose now,but I reckon it's still all to play for with the top 5 on GC.

I only caught from the descent before the Angliru, did JV try anything to make Carapaz Work earlier in the day, or jus5 hope they could ride tempo up a 29% gradient?

On TCP Lizzie Banks has been calling for JV to try and isolate Carapaz, and Her ideas make sense So you have to wonder why it hasn’t been attempted. maybe they would rather try for 2 people on the podium than really push for one on the top step?

Pretty high tempo all day,they couldn't really drop anyone.Carapaz was left on his own at the sharper end.Movistar did ok and I thought Mas might of had the stage,but it's so brutal it's a hard ask.Not a lot between them,although I'd say Roglic was lucky to have Kuss with him until the finish...he was blowing on the final steep climb.

I'm not to sure they'll have two on the podium looking at the top 5 on GC.Hugh Carthy is meant to have been working on his TT,aswell as Martin,Carapaz I doubt theres much between them on TT.

i was surprised Kuss didn’t leave him when Roglic seemed to slide out the back. There wasnt much left of the climb, so Rogelio wouldn’t have shipped minutes, but now they need to find a way past Carapaz in the TT or otherwise.

But I guess there counting on Roglic taking at least a minute plus on Carapaz in the TT.He should really.
If Kuss had of left him I think it could of backfired on both of them.Roglic was on his limit there.This leaves Roglic as the firm favourite.Shame there's no more bi mountains ^_^

and Rog gets to wear his own skinsuit, not some off the peg number that only comes in a 44 inch chest
