Cycling: Ineos's Thomas expects 'chaotic' start to Tour

BREST, France: Geraint Thomas says he expects a chaotic opening week of the Tour de France through the Brittany countryside and believes Ineos Grenadiers could benefit from having so many riders capable of challenging for general classification.

"Even if gaps won't necessarily be there there will be guys who have used up a lot of energy and that will have an effect going into the final week." "I think there are pros and cons," Thomas said."Four gives us cards to play later in the race, but then again we can't ride to protect four riders, it would take too much out of the guys in the first week."

Porte, who finished third last year for Trek-Segafredo, picked out Primoz Roglic as the man Ineos will have to watch.
