Geraint Thomas has said that he felt like a cheap nail after stage nineteen of the 102nd Tour De France.
The Team Sky rider started the day fourth on General Classification but lost twenty two minutes on a day where Vincenzo Nibali took the win and Chris Froome lost time to Nairo Quintana.
Speaking after the stage, Thomas said: “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. I just didn't have anything.
"As they say, sometimes you're the hammer, sometimes you're the nail. I was a cheap little Ikea nail today. It was terrible.”
