Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers), second in the general classification of Italy is spinninghe is confident on the day of rest against decisive weekwhere the mountain and the time trial on Saturday will decide the final podium.
“We are super confident. I think the race has gone well so far, all my teammates have played their role. We have a strong team, and I think with the way we competed, we showed that we are one of the strongest. We are motivated to try to do something important”, said the Welsh cyclist.
Thomas is 1.08 minutes behind French circumstantial leader Bruno Armirail, and 2 seconds ahead of his main rival and favourite, Slovenian Primoz Roglic.
“I don’t think anyone is comfortable with the situation right now”, said. “Between me and Roglic there are only two seconds and anything can happen. I’m sure he’ll try to make time, just like me and João Almeida. The next three mountain stages will be interesting because I think we will all try, if we can, to surpass the others in something”, he explained.
For the Cardiff cyclist, every rider in the top 10 can be a threat. “I think everyone in the top ten is still a threat. As we said many times before the Giro, many things can change in the last week”, he concluded.
