Geraint Thomas has offered an insight into the potential mind games being played by his main Giro d'Italia rival Primož Roglič, saying he doesn't trust the Slovenian and refused to get carried away by the possible early signs of weakness on stage 18

Roglič was distanced a couple of times on the Passo della Crosetta, the category-1 climb that opened Thursday's stage in the Dolomites, leading to a wave of speculation that he might be suffering and vulnerable to attacks.
