‘It’s a really big goal’ – Geraint Thomas tests form at Tour of the Alps ahead of Giro-Tour double attempt

Nearly a year after losing the Giro d’Italia on the penultimate day, Geraint Thomas is gearing up for his return to the Italian Grand Tour at the Tour of the Alps after a more consistent preparation, without interruption from illness. 

In 2023, Thomas’ early season was disrupted by a urinary tract infection (UTI) which prevented him from training regularly and the cause of which wasn’t worked out until spring.
