Thomas eyes yellow in Tour team time-trial

Bangkok Post

July 03, 2026

Former Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas said on Wednesday that his Netcompany Ineos team would be targeting the first yellow jersey of the Grand Boucle in tomorrow’s opening team time-trial.

Now the British team’s sporting director, Thomas is no stranger to time-trial success at the Tour.

In 2017, he won the opening individual time-trial ahead of his team leader Chris Froome and wore the yellow jersey for four days.

The following year, he went on to win the Tour.

Netcompany Ineos have included several strong time-trialists in their eight-man team for the Tour, which begins in Barcelona.

Italian Filippo Ganna is a twice former time-trial world champion having succeeded Norwegian Tobias Foss, while Briton Josh Tarling is a former European champion in the discipline.

Asked at a press conference if he was aiming to win the opening 19.6km team time-trial, Thomas said: “I'd be lying if I said it wasn’t.”
