NEW DELHI: Geraint Thomas, the former Tour de France champion who also won gold medals in track cycling for Great Britain at the Olympic Games in 2008 and ‘12, announced Monday that this will be his final year as a professional.

Thomas, a loyal teammate with a tremendous appetite for victory who transformed into a leader over his almost two-decade career, said he will focus on the Tour this summer with Ineos Grenadiers.

“Since I was a kid, I dreamt of riding the Tour and being part of the Olympics and winning was obviously a dream as well, but to achieve that was just nuts,” he told BBC Breakfast. Agencies
