As Roglič was able to cope with Dennis just fine, after Dennis caught Roglič. I somehow feel that Roglič and his coach thought, due to the length of the time trial, hardest part being at the end, Roglič just finishing Vuelta, best to not start full gas. Competition did just that and the race was basically lost, before reaching the first checkpoint. Not much could be done about it after. Roglič still has a few races in October, best to wait and see on how he will perform.
As Roglič managed to secure a GT win this season. In addition to a GT podium position. Likely he already is happy with the season as a whole. Therefore maybe motivation to achieve more is low, body for sure doesn't want any more.
