Geraint Thomas: Everyone on UAE team is normal except for Tadej Pogačar

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) is gearing up for a crucial time trial in the Giro d’Italia after a disappointing performance in the first test against the clock. Thomas, who finished 10th in the first time trial on stage 7, dropped from second to third overall in the general classification. However, he remains focused on bouncing back in the upcoming 31.2km stage 14 test between Castiglione delle Stiviere and Desenzano del Garda.

The flat nature of the stage with minimal vertical climbing presents an opportunity for Thomas to showcase his time trial abilities and solidify his position on the podium before the challenging mountain stages ahead. Despite the setback in the first time trial, Thomas remains optimistic and determined to learn from his mistakes and execute his plan to the best of his abilities.

In a recent interview, Thomas expressed his eagerness to put the past behind him and focus on the task at hand. He emphasized the importance of staying focused and not taking anything for granted in a race as competitive as the Giro d’Italia. With his experience in Grand Tours and a strong team supporting him, Thomas is confident in his ability to make a comeback and contend with the top riders in the race.

While Thomas aims to improve his position in the general classification, the dominant performance of race leader Tadej Pogačar and his UAE Team Emirates squad poses a formidable challenge. Pogačar has been in top form, winning three stages and maintaining a significant lead over his rivals. Despite the strong showing from UAE Team Emirates, Thomas remains undeterred and focused on his own performance.

As the race intensifies, teams are strategizing to secure their positions in the overall standings. Bahrain Victorious, in particular, has been proactive in protecting their riders’ positions in the top 10. This tactical approach has allowed UAE Team Emirates to control the race and maintain their advantage. Thomas acknowledges the competitive nature of the race and the importance of strategic decisions in securing a podium finish.

With the Giro d’Italia reaching a critical stage, Thomas and his team are prepared to face the challenges ahead. The upcoming time trial will be a test of Thomas’ resilience and determination to overcome setbacks. As the race unfolds, the battle for the podium intensifies, with riders and teams vying for position in the final standings. Thomas remains focused on his goal and is determined to give his best performance in the remaining stages of the race.
