Honestly what finishes isnt he almost unbeatable now bar flat stages.

Winning 1km at 6%
12km climb final sections 8%
climbs between 4-10km winning
Steep climbs 50-50 winning
probably could destroy Ala on Fleche if he wanted to
Any finish that involves a change of wardrobe.

They should find a TT route where instead of a bike change, there's a weather change. Just as you round the corner onto the coast, the temperature drops 15C, for a 10km stretch, and everyone needs to put on a jacket.

I would believe he could win any race he entered if it was an actual target.
Though in relation to his Punchier ability in any scenario I believe he is in a weak era for that skill with only Ala a threat. Evans, Sanchez, Jrod, Rebellon and Valverde would have cut his rate down but I would still see him winning alot over them tbh

Roglic will be in red after the weekend is over... The way he is riding is like a man possessed. He really wants to make up for the TdF. Plus, he is defending his Vuelta title with honor...

12 years ago Contador ripped it from really early and only 5 guys finished within 1s of Bettini.

I do think the field for this finish is probably very weak right now.
Yeah, it would've been a very different stage with Alaf, Hirschi, Sagan, Ulissi, Matthews etc, but those guys would be nowhere on other finishes in this race. Also, Stybar won a TdF stage on a similar finish, and he finished 40th.

What??? So, who is in red now?
So it's finally Roglic in red. The committee decided that the original 3-second gap should stand because the finish was not a flat sprint, so the new rules about time gaps would not apply (counting only gaps of 3 seconds or more between the last rider in the first group and the first rider in the next group). Since it was "uphill," they decided the original gaps should apply.
