‘You always want more’ Geraint Thomas focused on Giro d’Italia podium before thinking about Tour de France

Tadej Pogačar is riding more defensively in the third week of the Giro d’Italia, to save some energy for the Tour de France, but Geraint Thomas has opted for a more pragmatic approach.

Pogačar and Thomas are the only big-name riders in the peloton aiming to peak in both May and July but have different approaches to the Grand Tour double. Pogačar has won five stages and built a nearly unbeatable lead in the first half of the race.
