Roglic really strong, but not really that intimidating. Pogacar could stay with him until the end on a climb that was much more suitable for Roglic' high cadence spinning style. Looks are deceptive and too much are being read into him looking effortless and barely breathing. I'm certain he went as hard as he could today and in the end failed to drop his strongest rival.
Still Roglic is certainly the main favourite for the overall, but not yet looking invincible. Pogacar, Bernal (not counting him out just yet) and others need to put Roglic into some difficulties in the coming mountain stages. If they are able to do that, his advantage in the TT could end up being much less than what would normally be expected. If they are unable to do so, the TT will have no consequence in the battle for yellow anyway.
