But uncertainties still remain over the British team’s leadership. One by one, Ineos Grenadiers wheeled out their quartet of big guns for their virtual press conference, with Thomas, Carapaz, Porte and Hart appearing in that sequence. Asked if the running order had symbolic meaning, Thomas, champion in 2018 and runner-up in 2019, answered with a deadpan: “Yes.”
Asked a similar question, Carapaz bluntly stated: “The two main leaders are Geraint and me.”
But of the four, Hart was the most outspoken when asked about the team’s hierarchy. “Is the last one the best, or the first one the best?” the Tour debutant responded. “When you leave the room who are you going to be thinking about? The last person you spoke to?”
Ha, Tao.
