The intermediate sprints should be the first goal. He needs to be on the wheel of Denz when led out for those.
Normally no chance. Its too easy. Ayuso is probably faster at a flat/downhill sprint. Today would have been the day for Rog.

Look, I think the real reason RBBH will be disappointed about today's stage is because they wanted to test the whole team in a mountain stage ahead of the Giro. Yeah it's a pain because I also think Rog would have torched Ayuso if the stage had unfolded normally according to the original profile.
As for tomorrow, a part of me is actually quite curious to see how Rog does when he has to go on the offensive. I don't hold out much hope for the intermediate sprints against Ayuso so I think it'll come down to launching a nuclear watts bomb if possible, like the good old FW 2021 versus Alaphilippe days.

Montjuic is just reps, I don't think you make every lap hard, you just preserve everyone for the final lap. You need to launch the first part of the ramp hard.
The only positive about that hill is that basically nobody great on that type of effort ever needs to attack there in Catalunya. Pog is the exception, but Montjuic was probably Pogacar's single worst day last year and he still won it.

I know. He did it hard versus Evenepoel in the 2023 Giro as well.
But I'm talking about Montjuïc here, aka launching it like he's on the Mur de Huy.
He's going to do it as well if he's still behind in GC at that point. The question is whether he'll succeed or not.

I think the silliness of this idea would only be exceeded by sudden participation in the Scheldeprijs.

Unless they destroy the peloton on earlier laps and reduce it to a small group sprint.
Red Bull have the funniest team I've ever seen for Itzulia by the way, gone for the old 7 leader strategy, aka the no leader strategy. 'What we really need guys is 7 riders in the top 14 and none in the top 1' a disaster waiting to happen.

He could do fleche and lbl but of course he skip again the ardennais for no apparent reason except to annoy his fans, typical boring rogilic
Much harder challenge ahead for tomorrow, for the grand finale, as everything was geared towards making the difference at stage 6. UAE will likely be aggressive through the whole stage and that likely comes down to three sprints. So i guess Rogla can afford giving away 1s at each intermediate for as long as the plan is winning the stage. The team likely isn't capable of setting Rogla up for the launch on the ultimate climb so that is a bit of a pickle. Hopefully therefore at least for there to be carnage on the penultimate climb. All in all Rogla is in my opinion a better sprinter and with a bit of luck involved can win this race by 1s advantage!
Vamos Rogla!

Long range attack is better than long range defence!
After today I think only bad luck can prevent Roglič from winning his second Giro.
