Dave Brailsford, the Ineos director of sport, has admitted that Geraint Thomas proved doubters inside the team wrong with his resurgent performance at the Tour de France. The Welsh rider entered the race having been named as one of three co-leaders for the Ineos Grenadiers, but quickly established himself as the team's best general classification hope after winning the Tour de Suisse.
PARIS: After winning seven of eight titles from 2012-2019, Ineos-Grenadiers have been kicked out of contention since Tadej Pogacar and Jonas Vingegaard seized power in brutal fashion and there is little chance that the British outfit will regain their crown in the near future.
On a day that Tadej Pogacar’s stricken UAE Team Emirates threw everything but the kitchen sink at turning the tables on yellow jersey Jonas Vingegaard (Jumbo-Visma), the Slovenian two-time champion moved just four seconds closer to the race summit despite beating his Danish rival to the line on the steep airstrip at Peyragudes. A thrilling Stage 17 in the Pyrenees saw Pogacar’s remaining three teammates blow the race apart on the third of four climbs before American climber Brandon McNulty set up his leader for his third win of the race.
Eurosport's experts have urged Ineos Grenadiers and Geraint Thomas to have «no regrets» at the Tour de France and launch significant attacks in pursuit of glory. Ineos already boasted a clear numerical advantage over their general classification rivals — UAE Team Emirates and Jumbo-Visma — as the race reaches its business end in the Pyrenees. Ad/> There was a further boost for the team, and for Thomas, as Rafal Majka suffered a muscle tear and could not start Stage 17 for UAE Team Emirates.
Ineos Grenadiers may have the numerical advantage at the Tour de France but it matters for little without the power, claims 12-time stage winner Robbie McEwen. Ineos were primed for an assault on the yellow jersey in the final week with a full quota of eight riders still in the race, while Jumbo-Visma and UAE Team Emirates have thinner support casts to guide Jonas Vingegaard and Tadej Pogacar through the yellow jersey battle.
CARCASSONNE, France : It has been more than 1,500 days since Chris Froome last won a race but the four-time Tour de France champion has an unwavering certainty he can still improve, although there were moments he was losing faith after a career-threatening freak crash in 2019.
Ineos Grenadiers’ Tom Pidcock jumped into a public fountain to cool off after he finished Stage 15 at the Tour de France. The 202.5km stage was done during an intense heatwave from Rodes to Carcassone. Ad/> Due to the intense heat, averaging around 38°C, the Extreme Weather Protocol had been activated but the distance of the race was not reduced.
Alpecin-Deceuninck rider Philipsen timed his effort to perfection to beat compatriot Wout van Aert and Dane Mads Pedersen, who were second and third respectively.
