Thomas new leader Giro after Evenepoel’s failure: ‘At first I thought he was fooling me’

Geraint Thomas is the new rosette jersey wearer in the Giro d’Italia due to the failure of Remco Evenepoel, although he would have preferred to take over the leader’s jersey in a different way. Evenepoel withdrew last weekend due to a corona infection. Nevertheless, the Ineos Grenadiers rider sees wearing the pink jersey as an honor, he said during a press conference on Monday afternoon.
