‘I’m looking forward to putting it right’ – Geraint Thomas on upcoming Giro d’Italia time trial

As the Giro d’Italia moves through the second week transition stages, the overall contenders are beginning to think more about the next GC challenges, with Saturday’s second time trial and the summit finish at Livigno both looming fast on the horizon. And in Geraint Thomas’ case, setting the record straight after his disappointing first week TT is definitely amongst his upcoming targets.

Tenth in the opening 40.6km time trial in Perugia, Saturday’s race against the clock between Castiglione delle Stiviere and Desenzano del Garda is much flatter, lacks the summit finish of the first TT, and at 31.2 kilometres, notably shorter.
