“I wanted to be more aggressive and just attacked it” – For Geraint Thomas, taking risks at the Giro d’Italia TT is paying off

Geraint Thomas rode an aggressive stage 14 time trial of the Giro d’Italia, taking risks in some corners of the 31.2km Lake Garda route, but his adrenaline-fueled performance paid off and eliminated the disappointment of last week’s time test in Perugia to nothing.

Thomas finished fourth on the stage, 1:14 behind his Ineos Grenadiers teammate Filippo Ganna, who won the stage. Maglia rosa Tadej Pogačar (UAE Team Emirates) finished second on the stage, 45 seconds ahead of Thomas, while another Ineos rider, Thymen Aresnsman, took third place with 1:06.
