Roglic does not look that comfortable... Bernal prefers this cold weather

Is Roglic going to sit on Bernal's wheel for 60km? I think he might
Yeah will not contest the stage if it comes to it

Re the cider round those parts. The waiters have a custom of pouring it out from a height into your glass. I assume the reason is to introduce a bit of effervescence into it. The net effect is that half of it ends up on the floor and the payments are all sticky as hell.
Ouch! Vlasov down collar bone ... Odd down but back up

All that work on aero details and then Roglic puts on dark glasses so he sticks them in the vents upside down while he's at 50-70kph.
I do wonder if all that aero stuff is psychosomatic with these riders - just so they feel their teams are doing everything. No-one's gonna say he lost time because he put his sunglasses in his helmet.

What's the forum consensus on Roglic riding with Bernal?
Roglic has almost two minutes on Bernal, therefore would be stiupid not to ride with him. They could eliminate all the other contenders, and then it's down to Roglic to maintain his gap over Bernal in the final few days.
What's the forum consensus on Roglic riding with Bernal?
I would think both of them have an incentive not to let the others' domestiques back in?
I think if Roglic is confident he can beat Bernal on the final climb then it makes perfect sense doesn't it? As it puts all the other GC guys way out the back.

Going to look stupid if bernal drops him on the LdC ... But makes sense as he has a cushion on bernal ... He gains time on his closet on GC if he can stay close to bernal ... OTOH bernal has another day

Only Roglic able to follow.

WTF?!?!
2 separate spills on the same bend.
Roglic looking like he's pleased he's got someone to follow down.
