BRUSSELS: The Tour de France is only two days old but the newly-rebranded Team Ineos have already issued an emphatic response to anyone hoping a change of name for the world's dominant cycle team might have diluted their aura.
It stung, but the truth is it was a great day for Thomas and team co-leader Egan Bernal as they opened time gaps on the men most expected to challenge them in the general classification . Dane Fuglsang, tipped as a pre-race favourite but left bloodied and bruised by a crash on Saturday, was relieved his Astana team only lost 21 seconds to Ineos.
Thomas made the point that Jumbo-Visma's Steven Kruijswijk, a dangerous all-rounder, took 20 seconds on him, but added that the team was"in a really good place." Yates also preferred to look on the bright side, saying he was glad one of the Tour's two time trials was done.Dane Fuglsang was just happy he could contribute after suffering a cut eye and knee bruising on Saturday.
