Bernal not worried about chase group catching them because he thinks there will be a mud avalanche and they will stop the stage at some random place and declare him the stage winner!

Am I the only who thinks this is a really dumb move by Rog? He could have sat on Bernal, or let him go and use him teammates to chase and let Bernal fry out in front. If Bernal drops Rog on the final climb, and gains time on him, then he’s in a heap of trouble. If Rog is more worried about putting time into Movistar duo then he is being badly advised. Bernal is a champion and always dangerous
Bernal really needs to gain 5 min or Roglic to be a real threat though with the TT at the end, so I don't think this is a bad move by Roglic.

Martin burning himself is definitely not a good move for him, I wonder what his DS is saying to him right now

Edit: There is another Cofidis rider in the group, looks like he is chasing instead of Martin

Yeah, gap had to come down eventually with multiple guys chasing, I just hope Bernal and Roglic have saved enough legs to keep it on the climb when the Cofidis and Bahrain chasers are less useful.
