Geraint Thomas is one of Britain’s most popular and successful cyclists, a Tour de France winner and double Olympic gold medalist who’s also known as a team man willing to give everything for the cause.


Speaking direct from the massage table and in reflective mood, the man everyone calls ‘G’ looks back on the career-defining moment when he realised he could make the switch from Tour de France support man to yellow jersey contender in his own right. He discusses what it took mentally, physically and tactically to make this massive step, and what it felt like to achieve his dream to actually win the world’s greatest and toughest bike race in 2018.


Now entering his 19th - and most likely final - season as a professional, Geraint talks about how cycling has changed, what he still wants to achieve and how he’s looking for a new challenge once he finally hangs up his lycra.
