LONDON (Reuters) - When Londoner Tao Geoghegan Hart finished 126th in the opening stage of the Giro d'Italia in Sicily, his only focus was his job as domestique to Ineos Grenadiers main man Geraint Thomas.

Three weeks later in Milan, after an extraordinary turn of events, the 25-year-old slipped on the fabled Maglia Rosa having become only the fifth British man to win a Grand Tour, joining Chris Froome, Bradley Wiggins, Thomas and Simon Yates.
