After winning Thursday's stage 2 of Tirreno-Adriatico, Geraint Thomas revealed that embattled Team Sky manager Dave Brailsford was at the race on Wednesday and personally thanked the Welsh rider for his support.
Thomas was the first to tweet his support for Brailsford after Cyclingnews revealed that several riders had held discussions over whether to approach Dave Brailsford and ask him to step down.
"There is a concern over the impact that this may have on the current season and the distraction it is all causing for Dave Brailsford and the other management," a Team Sky rider told Cyclingnews for the report published on March 6.

Thomas attacked the uphill finish to Pomerance and won alone. He revealed that Brailsford travelled to the race on Wednesday. Cyclingnews understands he stayed hidden on the team bus.
"I haven't seen him since winning, but I saw him yesterday," Thomas revealed.
"He showed up just before the TTT, and he shook my hand and said thanks for yesterday (the tweet). That was it. We didn't speak because we were focussed on the race. After the race, there was a lot of other stuff going on with wheels."
