Fourth overall at the start, Geraint Thomas lost 22 minutes today and described himself as a "cheap Ikea nail".
“I don't even know what happened, actually. I was just empty today. It was always going to happen, but I was hoping it was going to come on Monday. It came today. I just didn't have it, and as they say, sometimes you're the hammer and sometimes you're the nail. I was a cheap little Ikea nail today, terrible, but there you go. There's only one mountain stage to go," he said.
“It was such a tough start, and when you've got nothing in the legs there's not a lot you can do.”
