Tour de France 2022: Opinion: Three-man UAE Team Emirates put Geraint Thomas and Ineos Grenadiers to the sword

It’s not as if Ineos Grenadiers didn’t try. Tom Pidcock was sniffing around the early moves during the fast and frantic start to Stage 17 while Dylan van Baarle, second time lucky, got himself into the breakaway alongside Dani Martinez. Jonathan Castroviejo even tried to bridge over on the first of four climbs, the Col d’Aspin, giving Geraint Thomas three men up the road.

‘Chapeau to them’ - Geraint Thomas salutes breakaway as Tour de France title hopes fade

“Fair play to them, they really took it on” said Geraint Thomas, after he was dropped on Stage 17 of the Tour de France, losing more time to yellow jersey holder Jonas Vingegaard and defending champion Tadej Pogacar — who won the stage. The 2018 winner still sits a comfortable third in the general classification, but he is now 4’56” back from the leader with three competitive stages to go — before the traditional procession to the Champs Elysees for the GC. Ad/> UAE Team Emirates riders Mikkel Bjerg and Brandon McNulty led a superb breakaway which Thomas was not able to live with, and McNulty guided Pogacar into a position to put down the throttle with 300m to go — eventually beating Vingegaard to the stage win.
