VALLOIRE, France (Reuters) - Ineos's Egan Bernal and Geraint Thomas are ideally-placed at the Tour de France to turn up the pressure on yellow-jersey holder Julian Alaphilippe, but the British team are facing a leadership conundrum as the race reaches its climax.
With two competitive stages remaining in the Alps, which is far from Frenchman Alaphilippe's favourite terrain, second-placed Bernal and third-placed Thomas trail the world number one by 1:30 and 1:35 respectively.
