Geraint Thomas said he felt 'super' on Stage 1 of the Tour de France as his sixth place won him the white jersey for the best young rider.

Talking to ITV's Ned Boulting, Thomas said: "I felt super - I felt really good today - sixth and this jersey's definitely nice.

"It's the Tour, isn't it. There's crashes left, right and centre and it's every man for himself.

"I was 6" down. All in all a great day for the team. The yellow jersey would be special.

"I've been looking forward to the team time trial since the start of the year, really. If we can get the win and the jersey comes with that, that would be great."
