Roglic's swarms made up of Lipowitz, Martinez and Vlasov should try to split the GC group midway of the climb. I'm sure the Spanish group of Rodriguez, Mas and Landa with Skjelmose and some remnants of UAE team would also come out of their attacking mode to help weaken the Red Jersey and his team not only in this stage, but to the more demanding stages 14, 15 and 16.

There is nothing demanding in stage 14. There isn't a single full km in Leitariegos above 5%.
 
Everytime he lets his team dictate the pace, he fails to deliver. And with the TDF in his legs, it will be hard for him to get a podium here.
They were pulling to limit the gap to Sivakov. The final 3km are unique within this race with how hard they were so not the most representative. However 5th is likely because of the gifts to Carapaz and O'Connor.
