Roglic still looking pretty good

 

[Laplaz]

Alberto vs. Andy

 

[Red Rick]

Can Bernal get Roglic off his ass out of the saddle?

 

[RedheadDane]

Bernal and Roglic are in a league of their own.

Re:

Contador vs Chicken @ Peyresourde

 

[Poursuivant]

Froome Contador Dauphine!

 

[Frankschleck]

Pretty sure those 2 would be a match for froome.

Re:

My thoughts as well. Just ignoring anyone else.
Would be funny if both get beaten by Porte and his steady pace.

 

[Red Rick]

So far Bernal has only succeeded in isolating himself.

 

[Poursuivant]

Roglic looks so strong too

 

[Gigs_98]

I know we are supposed to mostly be impressed by Bernal, but I can't be the only one mightily impressed by Roglic too. After last year I thought he had finally reached his peak becoming on of the worlds best riders in TT's and a very good climber able to win gt mountain stages out of the breakaway. But now he has again drastically improved and climbs like a grand tour gc contender. If last year someone had told me the two guys outclimbing Porte in Romandie are Roglic and Bernal I would have laughed.

 

[Valv.Piti]

Those accelerations by Bernal were insane, but holy Roglic is strong.

His last man was blowing

Yes, very much.

Dusk is turning on the old generation of GT champs. The field will rejuvinate quickly now.

Also very good that there's some balance between elite climbers and elite ITTers among them too.

 

[Laplaz]

Rohan not bad today actually.

 

[Gigs_98]

C'mon Egan, one more try

 

[Red Rick]

Gotta say that the climb doesn't look all that hard.

 

[Sestriere]

Roglic has to be worried. If Bernal wins the sprint he better be second on the line.. A group of 2 would be to his liking, maybe he should attack.

 

[UselessToo]

Costa - 2 great performances in the back-to-back stages? What is going with him? xD

 

[infeXio]

Ridiculously bad coverage

 

[DNP-Old]

WTF is the director doing

 

[Red Rick]

Brilliant broadcasting

Bernal has to win the sprint and Roglic has to finish outside the top3 for Bernal to take the lead if there are no gaps

 

[Red Rick]

I'm starting to question Dumoulin's decision to not peak for the Tour this year.

Okay, I wasn't aware how the hundredths. Still not too comfortable.
