Geraint Thomas believed Remco Evenepoel's positive Covid result was a “joke” when he first heard the news break. The Belgian’s hopes of winning the first Grand Tour of the year, the Giro d’Italia, were over when he tested positive for Covid just hours after extending his lead with an individual time trial win in Stage 9. Ad Following his withdrawal, Ineos Grenadiers star Thomas will wear the pink jersey on stage 10, despite not believing the news at first.
