Roglic and almeida not good enough to threaten Thomas.

Roglic can be happy he has a sprint or he would have lost 10seconds here. Kind of the roglstomp after dropping. Seems in pure climbing he can't compete with Thomas, so i'm assuming if they raced hard on the previous climbs, Thomas would have won by a distance...

10s is just climbing ability here not being lucky you have a sprint.
 
I'm just shaking my head at Hatch; it is so painful listening to the commentators trying to put lipstick on this pig. Uggh.
IMO he, and any other commentators sugarcoating this race, are a hindrance more than a help. Yes, it may put off some casual viewers if you're being honest about this race, but sometimes a race is so bad that it's unhealthy for there not to be proper backlash and this is one such occasion.
