COL DU TOURMALET, France - Champion Geraint Thomas admitted he felt “quite weak” as he lost further ground on race leader Julian Alaphilippe and other top contenders in the first big mountain test of the Tour de France on Saturday.
“I just didn’t feel quite on it from the start really to be honest - just quite weak,” Thomas told reporters after ending up eighth, 36 seconds behind Pinot. “I thought it was better just to try to ride my own pace and limit my losses that way, rather than stay with them and blow up on the steepest bit at the end,” said Thomas, who now trails Alaphilippe by 2:02 minutes.
Thomas, who had appeared to take the upper hand on Bernal after the Colombian had a disappointing time trial on Friday, now only leads the Colombian by 58 seconds and he was left hoping for better days as the peloton faces a huge test of strength in Sunday’s 15th stage.
