So tomorrow the smart money is on Roglic. My guess is that he takes it, but that Bernal marks him and doesn't give away too much time. The Bernal/Ineos plan has got to be to gain a bunch of time on a couple of the mountain stages in the last week - enough to neutralize the minute or two that he'll lose in the TT at the end. With the stronger climbing team compared to JV (Kuss doesn't seem to be on form), Ineos will be best off waiting until Roglic is tired and has few teammates to help.
But maybe Slovenians never get tired.
