Although the road to this year’s Giro d’Italia hasn’t been the smoothest for Geraint Thomas this season, the Ineos captain finds himself at the top of the Giro general classification after some strong riding and the unfortunate departure of race leader Remco Evenepoel due to COVID-19
This could possibly be the last Giro that Thomas rides. The Welshman has ridden for Ineos Grenadiers – previously Team Sky – for almost the entirety of his stellar career. Joining in 2010, the year of the Team’s inception, he has raced on Pinarello bikes exclusively.
In a professional road career that includes a 2018 Tour de France victory, multiple stage race and single day wins, as well as a Commonwealth Games road race title for Wales. Thomas will long be remembered as a gritty, no-nonsense rider, who has delivered at the very highest level for over a decade.
