Not well
“I didn’t feel too good on the last climb, so I preferred to put myself in the back group and not push myself to the limit. I didn’t break down,” she said.
And I add: “Then I put my pace to the finish, waiting for what UAE did, especially Mikkel Bjerg. He made a big change of pace.”
Thomas is third overall, but 4 min 56 behind Jonas Vingegaard, the leader, who has looked very strong.
The Ineos team runner defends his third place, the one stalking him is Nairo Quintana, who is fourth, but with a difference of 2 min 57 s, which gives Thomas peace of mind.
