I know about his attack on the other stage, it just caught my attention how he was so easily dropped, and then again today.

Isn't this simply a case of a rider being a lot worse than all of the others in the break (at this point of his career)?
He probably had to spend a lot more energy to keep up while his breakaway companions were saving something for the final.

Both times he was in the break he had to deal with world class riders.

He should have held the classes before the season started though. Now it's too late
But Roglic can take over from him.

Roglic was an excellent student last year. He attended classes at Jebel Hafeet and Mas de la Costa, and this year he properly applied acquired knowledge.
