Author Biography
Geraint Thomas MBE is the winner of the 2018 Tour de France, a double Olympic gold
medallist and multiple world champion who has been an indispensable part of Team
INEOS since its inception. A Tour de France veteran, he had both completed the entire
race with a fractured pelvis and been essential in piloting Chris Froome to the yellow
jersey multiple times before his own win.
One of the most popular men in the peloton, he has watched and contributed from the
inside as British cycling has been transformed over the past decade. In 2014 he won
Commonwealth road race gold in Glasgow and was voted BBC Wales Sports Personality
of the Year. In 2015 he became the first British rider to win the E3 Harelbeke: in 2016 he
won Paris-Nice and in early 2018 won the Criterium du Dauphine.
