The Tour de France winner and two-time Olympic gold medallist Geraint Thomas will retire as a racing cyclist at the end of the season, the Briton said in a social media post on Monday.
Thomas, 38, won the Tour de France in 2018, after securing gold for Britain in the team pursuit in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics.
Thomas made his Tour de France debut in 2007, earning three top-three finishes overall, including second in 2019 and third in 2022.
I don’t want to be the guy on the bus who is a bit of a grumpy person,” he said on his podcast, Geraint Thomas Cycling Club.
He was also part of the British team pursuit trio that won three golds in the Track Cycling World Championships between 2007 and 2012.
