Yeah it's the difference between ability and palmares.
Honestly think 2019 Vuelta Roglic would've put 3 minutes into Bernal that Tour no worries. Wonder if Jumbo are ever kicking themselves about that scheduling decision
Yup. Roglic is a complete rider who excels in climbing, TT-ing and finishes. In terms of peak level as well as mean level during the season Roglic trumps Bernal.
As for palmares I don't think Giro + Tour is much better than 3 Vueltas. They are similar. 2 Tours > 3 Vueltas but that's another story. And besides GTs Roglic has a big advantage in achievements.
Obviously a lot can change, Bernal has more time. But speaking about 2020s Bernal's Tour is excluded and Roglic is probably only in the middle of his prime, far from being done.
