If Roglic dont recover quickly, that would be the logical thing to do, give Wout a shot at GC.

yeah I said Wout as I'm not really sure how Primoz is gonna go over the new few days after seeing the pics.

Interesting. I doubt he can hold on to Pogacar for three weeks. 

If Roglic is a bust, I'd rather put Wout on the hunt for Green

A 30s swing in time is very possible today. GC standings will shuffle a lot. 

 

100% of the shuffle. This is one of the earliest proper ITTs in the tour for a long time, so the GC battle is very unsettled at the mo, and with all the weirdness of the crashes, and the variances in ITT abilities (Pog-good, Quintana-poor), it's going to be very topsy-turvy today

This is WVA.... He can do both!! ????

But with Rogla 1:35 down, and WVA 31s down on the same time as Carapaz, it definitely makes sense to keep WVA in the best position possible, even if he is still riding for Rogla. If WVA attacks on a climb, he has to be followed, which gives TJV a big advantage over teams like UAE that only have 1 rider in the mix (second UAE rider is Formolo at 4:27 down).
