Roglic went very hard but Ala timed his attack perfectly and outplayed the surprised Slovenian at the end. Congrats! Too bad UAE didn't start, f*ck these ambiguous COVID tests. I think Pogacar would've been up there with top2 (not sure about Hirschi) but winning against Ala would have been very difficult.

Alaphilippe was one of the two strongest on the day and was perfect strategically, and, in the end, the best rider on the day. Roglic was one of the two strongest on the day (maybe the strongest) and played a gambit that would have worked if Alaphilippe hadn't been so surprisingly strong--probably Ala's best form of the season so far. Sometimes you play your cards and it doesn't work. I still think Roglic may have won if he had waited a little longer. Just an opinion. --Surely, there are more informed appraisals than mine. . . . Mr. Horner will likely have a video ready shortly. :grin:
