It's actually a pretty good finish for him. He is not the fastest but can handle more hills than most sprinters.
I think his 2021 season and Drôme performance this year proved that he is more of a Matthews-esque type of rider.

Both today and stage 6 will be a bunch sprint.

Jakobsen has taken away Froglic's green jersey.
Jakobsen: "Hey remember when I beat you yesterday?"
Wout: "That never happened"

Philipsen can win maybe, but this is way too hard for Jakobsen
Also way too easy for Roglic

Yes and there's also his 2nd place in Laigueglia from 2020, he seems to be more than just a sprinter.

I don't think so. It's just not steep enough, so it will be at high speed and all about power. Bennett or Jakobsen ftw.

They'll be on a 3%+ gradient for over 2 minutes, Jakobsen got absolutely creamed on a 2 minute hill on Sunday. Yes it wont be 8W/kg to hold the wheels but it will hurt his sprint much more.
personally I don't think its too easy for Roglic but he wont win as there are two even better options for a finish like this within his own team.

900 m @ 7.6 % is harder than Cauberg, of course he was dropped there when they detonated a nuclear bomb. Here the gradient is similar to the stage Jakobsen won in the Vuelta, it just goes on for longer.

That stage was like 500m on a drag max coming in with a full leadout? Thats not remotely similar.
This is more like the first stage Van der Poel won on last years Tirreno with not a single pure sprinter in sight

so Roglic will probably take it a bit easy today, to avoid having to wear it during the time trial

The scenery is lovely as well. You can tell it's not spring yet because the trees don't have any leaves, but otherwise the sunshine and all the green make it look like the riders are having a pleasant ride in the countryside.

Ooooh, a castle, or is it a fort? (I don't have the sound on, it's much too early for commentary.)

In France they use the terms chateau and fortress chateau. It was a fortress chateau.
