Of course everything so far could as well be misleading as we haven't had a proper uphill test but the signs are surely good. Roglic will be hard to crack but I think Nibali will give him a hard time.
We all knew Roglic is a way better TTer than all except Dumoulin who went home, so he didn't quite impress me yet. Let's see how he can climb and starting with Thursday until the second rest day we'll find out.
Apart from Nibali, his sharkness and his better mountain team, Astana will go mental, Yates is a very good climber if he can recover from this shock and let's not forget the Movistar amigos. If he's not some sort of Lance (though that man had a team) he will crack sooner or later. But as they say, more on that later...
