Geraint Thomas is again leader of the general classification of the
Giro d'Italia. The Welshman was the only one who could follow Joao Almeida after his attack on Monte Bondone. Both worked to take as much time as possible from Primoz Roglic and, in the final sprint, he was overtaken by the Portuguese.
However, the experienced
INEOS Grenadiers rider was satisfied with the work done and for having regained the maglia rosa and taken time on the Slovenian: "It would have been nice to win the stage, we have to keep working with João with Roglic behind, unfortunately he beat me in the sprint, but it's nice to be back in pink and gain some time."
