    So WTF did Roglic's lot allow that to happen... I mean I get not wanting to carry the jersey but nearly 5.5 mins?? Weird as hell.

    Or was Roglic suffering a bit more than was obvious after than crash.

    Edit... ^^^ beat me to it

    - Roglic in discomfort after a crash, so his team take it relatively easy
    - Good quality break, but no real GC threats
    - Long stage

    All the ingredients for a decent time gap. Jumbo won't be bothered in the slightest at 5 mins.

    Yes quite. But one can only wish for a lifetime performance in the ITT from Conti on Sunday.
    Then there'll be that seed of doubt - has Conti got some legs for the big mountains?
    That'll put the heebi jeebies right up Roglic & co.

    Conti won't last but glad Masnada got his stage. class rider, and well capable of "doing something in the race".... needs to be riding at world tour level.
