Actually, this outcome wasn't too bad for Roglic. Apart from shipping 4 seconds to O'Connor, it was actually good for him. For Mas this will be a little blow, that his effort didn't pay off. Great to have such an interesting race at our hands!
 
I think Yates' and Carapaz' ended up being rather indifferent for gc so the big stories are
1. Roglic couldn't drop O'Connor
2. Mas was by far the strongest
3. In the end they all finished together

Even though 1. and 2. sound like big stories I still see Roglic as the clear favorite. This feels like the Galibier stage in the 2007 TdF when sadly for Contador the only day when he could emphatically drop his opponents was also the one mountain stage with a long rolling descent at the end.
