Former Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas has said he has a hard time seeing how multiple runner-up and double outright champion Jonas Vingegaard can find his best condition in the third week of this year's race.
The Netcompany Ineos director of racing, who retired at the end of 2025, pointed to the very hard first week of the Tour, with its double incursion into the Pyrenees, as one factor that could cause the Visma-Lease a Bike rider to fail to find late form.
