Primoz Roglic (Lotto NL Jumbo) was able to carry his speed all of the way to the line. And his speed was a bit faster than those he started down the Col d'Aubisque with. Roglic came to the line in Laruns eight seconds ahead of the chasers. With his ten second time bonus he moves onto the third step of the podium ahead of the crucial time trial tomorrow. Roglic is very strong in the race of truth, have beaten Chris Froome (Sky) and finished second to Tom Dumoulin (Sunweb) in the World Championships in Bregen just last fall. While Geraint Thomas (Sky) is also strong in the individual time trial discipline, it will be exciting to watch the top three in the world (who hold second through fourth on GC) battle it out for stage honors (and GC placement) on the penultimate stage of the Tour.
