Geraint Thomas (Ineos) says Tour de France contenders "have to expect anything," having gained a massive 1-40 minutes on stage 10 over rivals – not in the mountains, but in the crosswinds coming out of the Massif Central.
The defending Tour champion and Team Ineos helped blow the stage to Albi wide open for an eventual overall win. Among the losers were Thibaut Pinot (Groupama-FDJ), Jakob Fuglsang (Astana), Richie Porte (Trek-Segafredo) and Rigoberto Urán (EF Education First).
