“Yates will be my right hand,” Pogacar confirmed to the pair.
“Then (Juan) Ayuso, (João) Almeida are super-climbing domestiques. (Rafal) Majka will stay at home, I think he’s quite sad about this.
“Then (Marc) Soler and (Pavel) Sivakov will be the bigger climbers that can still maybe do something on the flat. Then Nils Pollitt and Tim Wellens too.”
“Blimey! That is a hit squad,” responded Thomas, upon hearing the list that he and Ineos Grenadiers will face in France.
“It is, it is. And it scares me also,” the Giro winner jokingly added.
