• Welshman may have to play supporting role to fellow Ineos rider• ‘He could have 10 or 12 years of being super-competitive’Geraint Thomas has admitted his frustration that he may have to sacrifice his future personal ambitions for Egan Bernal, his Ineos teammate from Colombia who beat him in the 2019 Tour de France.
Speaking to the Guardian in advance of a
