Ineos Grenadiers rider Geraint Thomas said he is enjoying his underdog status at the Giro d’Italia with all eyes focused on Slovenia’s Tadej Pogacar. Two-times Tour de France champion Pogacar, making his Giro debut, has racked up seven wins in 10 days of racing this season and is a huge favourite for this year’s competition. Thomas, who finished second at last year’s Giro, said the attention on Pogacar had taken some of the weight off the other riders in the race. “It’s the Giro, a lot can go good, a lot can go bad,” former Tour de France champion Thomas told reporters ahead of the May 4-26 race.
