Geraint Thomas' 2020 race plans have started to take shape with the 2018 Tour de France champion set to race Tirreno-Adriatico, the Tour de Romandie and the Tour de Suisse before embarking on the Tour de France in July.

Team Ineos confirmed the bulk of Thomas' pre-Tour de France plans in a message sent on Friday but it's still uncertain where Thomas will make his 2020 race debut. The team informed Cyclingnews that Thomas could start racing at the Volta ao Algarve in February but that has not been 100 per cent confirmed.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
