Cycling: Welsh Cyclist Geraint Thomas targets Tour De France And Olympics Next Year

Sharing is caring

Welsh Cyclist Geraint Thomas says he aims to return to the Tour de France next year and take part at the Paris Olympics for Great Britain.

Thomas will be 38 years old in May 2024 and the Tour starts on 29 June with the Olympics to follow in July and August.

In 2023, Thomas took on the Giro D’Italia for Ineos Grenadiers and finished the season at the Vuelta a Espana, missing out on the Tour de France.

Having won two Olympic gold medals on the track, Thomas has also distinguished himself on the road, peaking with his 2018 Tour de France triumph.

He has since claimed two podium finishes at the Tour and won several other prestigious multi-stage and one-day races.

He turned 37 during this year’s Giro in which he finished a close second behind Primoz Roglic and a series of crashes saw him fall out of contention for overall victory in September’s Vuelta a Espana.

The double Olympic gold medallist has since signed a new two-year deal with his team.
