Geraint Thomas strongly criticized Patrick Lefevere's comments regarding Julian Alaphilippe. The English rider from the Ineos Grenadiers team strongly criticized one of the latest media outings by the Belgian general director of Soudal Quick Step.
“I thought he was drunk. Maybe he was, I don’t know,” Thomas said. ‘As a rider, I feel sorry for my colleagues. I know Sam well, not as well as Julian, but this is just crazy situation, this shouldn't be done in public,’ he concluded.
