Geoghegan Hart speaks out about race safety after winning twisting Tour of the Alps finish

RITTEN ITALY APRIL 18 Tao Geoghegan Hart of United Kingdom and Team INEOS Grenadiers Green leader jersey celebrates at finish line as stage winner during the 46th Tour of the Alps 2023 Stage 2 a 1652km stage from Reith im Alpbachtal to Ritten 1174m on April 18 2023 in Reith im Alpbachtal Italy Photo by Tim de WaeleGetty Images

Tao Geoghegan Hart was keen to celebrate his second consecutive stage victory at the Tour of the Alps but didn’t shy away from criticising the twisting finale of the stage to Ritten that saw Felix Gall (AG2R Citroën) crash.

The Ineos Grenadiers rider and race leader saw Gall go down next to him as riders fought for position into a sweeping downhill curve with 500 metres to go. Geoghegan Hart was well placed up front and led onto the sweeping concrete finish, beating Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) but vented his anger after he crossed the line.
