Tour de France 2019: No complacency from Team INEOS after 'great start', says Geraint Thomas

The Hindu  

Geraint Thomas feels Team INEOS has enjoyed a "great start" to the Tour de France but insists the squad will remain focused as he looks to reel in Julian Alaphilippe. Alaphilippe leads the General Classification race by one minute and 12 seconds, yet Thomas is his nearest challenger and INEOS teammate Egan Bernal is third, a further four seconds back. Thomas added: "We've got huge Grand Tour experience in this team, so we won't allow ourselves to become complacent. "We'll know a lot more about Alaphilippe after the second rest day, but he’s rode a great race so far," the Welshman said.
