Chris Froome will keep improving from Tirreno-Adriatico until the Giro d'Italia in May, says Sky team-mate Geraint Thomas.

Froome faded on the summit finish to Sassotetto and lost 20 seconds in the final time trial to finish 34th overall on Tuesday. Team Sky dominated the race with Michal Kwiatkowski the winner and Thomas third after a chain problem cost him time.
