‘We let Pog go and do his thing’ – Geraint Thomas turns focus on fight for Giro d’Italia podium

Geraint Thomas admitted that Tadej Pogačar is riding a race apart at the Giro d’Italia, with the Welshman and his rivals locked in their own personal battle for the podium as the Slovenian picks which stages he wants to win, takes another big slice of the pie, leaving just crumbs for everyone.

Tadej Pogačar wanted to win in Livigno for personal reasons. He first came to the area as a junior and later revealed he first started dating his now partner Urška Žigart while they both trained here. Nobody could follow Pogačar when he surged away on the Passo di Foscagno and then he won alone, pointing to the sky and celebrating a big win.
