VAL THORENS, France: After his troubled preparation for the race, Geraint Thomas is still poised to finish the Tour de France as runner-up - and that persuades the defending champion to believe he can win the title again despite fierce internal competition at Team Ineos.

"He is probably going to dominate for more than a few years, he's got a great team around him," said Thomas, who started the race as Team Ineos co-leader with Bernal but had to accept the Colombian's superiority in the mountains. Bernal was initially scheduled to lead the team at the Giro d'Italia but he broke his collarbone in the lead-up to the race and had to focus on the Tour instead.Froome's crash at the Criterium du Dauphine opened the door to Bernal moving up the ranks in the team hierarchy and effectively challenging Thomas, who next season will also have to deal with the return of his fellow Briton Froome.
