Tao Geoghegan Hart revealed his maturity and leadership ability once again at the Tour of the Alps, confirming for a fourth day that he is on track for overall victory and also a successful Giro d’Italia, perhaps as an Ineos Grenadier protected rider alongside Geraint Thomas but also as a possible overall contender.
He and Ineos Grenadiers again defended the Tour of the Alps green leader’s jersey with apparent ease on stage 4 to Predazzo at the foot of the Dolomites. They carefully let the right breakaway go away on the early climb, allowing them to take the stage honours but kept the gap in check with some superb team riding before then leading home the peloton.
