Rd7 …. check check check white wins
I’m thinking Rxd7+
Rd7+ jumps out at me. I haven’t worked out all the variations, but it looks like it should lead to a win. With those advanced pawns and the bishop-queen combination, white should win.
Initially, I thought Rd7 looked good.
1. Rd7 Kd7
2. Qb7 Kd8
3. Bc6 threatening a mating attack, or loss of the rook, but 3. ….Qf1 seems to draw with a perpetual.
Rd7+ should win for white. Did not calculate it through but the white queen and bishop should be sufficient to hunt down the lone black king.

Rd7
rd7+
1.Rd7+! Kd7: 2.Qb7:+ Kd8 3. Bc6:! Qd2/d4 4. Qb8+ picking up the rook on h8.
After 1.Rd7+! Kxd7 2.Qxb7+, the queen, bishop, and g-pawn force mate.
1 Rd7+ Kxd7 2 Qxb7+ Kd8
3 Qb8+ Ke7 4 Qxh8 Qxe2
5 Qxg7+ wins
Olimat
I think Olimat has the right line. White leaves the bishop where it is to guard against the perpetual started with Qf1, and wins the game with the queen and the two connected passed pawns on the f and g-files after taking, with check, at g7 and f6.
Rxd7, etc, etc, etc
