- Team Ineos’ Dave Brailsford said rider ‘grew into the role’
- Geoghegan Hart says stunning victory feels ‘bizarre’
Tao Geoghegan Hart has spoken of the “bizarre” feeling of becoming the fifth Briton to win a Grand Tour after his victory in the Giro d’Italia for Team Ineos Grenadiers, whose general manager hailed the win “the stuff of comic books”.
The 25-year-old pulled on the pink jersey for the first time on the final podium in Milan after a dramatic closing weekend of the race, in which he and Team Sunweb’s Jai Hindley – two riders not considered contenders at the outset – started the last stage level on time, an unprecedented situation in a Grand Tour.
