I didn't see it, but Froome said on ITV earlier this week that Roglic could fade.
Pogacar is some talent.

Delighted for both Pogacar (particularly having to do it on his own for most of the summit battles) and also for Richie Porte who made the podium for the first time.
As I said when discussing JV and ketones "And of course they haven't actually won this race yet.". Great theatre. Up there with LeMond beating Fignon on the last day TT.
Yes famously in 1989 but that was a Time Trial and since then Stage 21 has been a formality, - a lap of honour for the jersey. They even allow him to sip champagne now with his team.Has anyone ever lost the yellow jersey on the final stage?
I guess it could only happen through a bad crash.
Is it seen as unsporting to try and get in a breakaway or attack off the front?
TT at beginning or end of Tour?
At end it gives a different test as stated above (Roglic unprotected).
At beginning, forces more challenges on Mountain stages through the Tour.
