Chris Froome and Geraint Thomas to lead Team Sky at Tour de France
• Both riders will skip Giro to put focus on the Tour de France
• Froome wants fifth Tour title and Thomas wants ‘best result’
Team Sky are set to go into what could be their final Tour de France with two leaders as four-times winner Chris Froome and defending champion Geraint Thomas both confirmed they will target the race in 2019.
Froome will not defend his Giro d’Italia title as he seeks a record-equalling fifth Tour crown, but will face a challenge from within as Thomas also plans to be in France having won the race for the first time in July.
