My only hope is that Thomas is a little ahead in form, that this mountain suited him more than the others, and that the others are a little behind in form and will be better in the tour.
How about just three islanders? Nibali, Aru and someone?MrTea1976 said:Has a British-born 1-2-3 ever happened in a World Tour race before?
It doesn't say much, yet. This stage and climb really suit Thomas as a TT'er, he finished a mere twelve seconds ahead of Dani Navarro, and it's always a possibility of peaking too early. We'll have to wait til July to really draw conclusions.deValtos said:Must be demoralizing for other GC riders to be dropped by Sky's 4th best climber. :lol:
Gigs_98 said:In all seriousness, how likely is it that Thomas just gets sky's tdf leader status? I know Froome will probably be stronger but Thomas will gain huge chunks of time on most contenders in both the ITT and especially the TTT, he is most likely even better than Nibali on the cobbles and his climbing seems to be great too. Froome has the giro in his legs so it's not like his shape will be great without a doubt and more importantly, sky won't want to throw away Thomas's gc ambitions for a froome win which he might lose one month later. At least giving him a free role seems reasonable

The commentator on NBC Sports Gold referred to Caruso as Thomas's "main rival" for GC when there were about 2 kilometres to go. I think that's going too far in the other direction.GraftPunk said:Caruso might just be the new 'ninja'? Into second on GC, yet not a word mentioned of him in the reporting until the finish.
