Tao Geoghegan Hart defended the overall lead at the Tour of the Alps on Wednesday, confirming to himself, his Ineos Grenadiers team and his rivals yet again that he has found a rich vein of form just in time for the Giro d'Italia.

After two tough seasons marred by illness and setbacks, Geoghegan Hart is once again confident in his ability to chase after attacks and take on anyone who tries to take the Tour of the Alps leader's green jersey from his back.
