Geraint Thomas (Ineos Grenadiers) is back in action on Monday at the Tour of the Alps, the five days of mountain racing in Austria and northern Italy, providing his final stepping stone to the Giro d’Italia, with the Corsa Rosa likely to help him make a decision about racing on into 2024.

The Welshman turns 37 during the Giro d’Italia but appeared ready for what would be the 18th Grand Tour of his career at the Tour of the Alps team presentation.
