Wow what a victory! Feel sorry for Aranburu in the hotseat for a whole day. Really happy for Roglic.

Heras record of four Vuelta wins already in danger.
Bernal was not good
Then Roglic and Pogacar would win every Grand Tour and there would be no suspense or competition unless they were against each other lol...46th...
imagine if there were a standard amount of TT...
Bernal now having to work for Adam Yates.

Fingers crossed that Rogla winning today means we are spared from my nightmare scenario, Sepp Kuss in red after Picón Blanco.
On the minus side, that likely means Kuss being stapled to Rogla's hip again.
I wonder, wasn't that the plan in the beginning of the season, that Yates would be the leader here?
I would rather see fabricated GTs where climbers can do something instead of 3 GTs where only 2-3 guys have any chance to win. Time trials are anti-entertainment.and that is what it should be. instead of manufactured suspense where someone who is good in only one (and not both) GC skills can be fabricated into a contender.
I think so, Adam Yates was supposed to be targeting this as a leader.

Think at best he's a co leader. Unless Bernal and Carapaz completely collapse or crash, I can't see Ineos fully backing Yates in any GT. He hasn't shown the ability to be competitive in 3 weeks in a long time.
