Cycling legend bows out on home roads in Wales
-
GERAINT THOMAS ended his illustrious cycling career with an emotional finish to the Tour of Britain in his home town of Cardiff.
The 2018 Tour de France champion (left), who also won two Olympic gold medals on the track, had been given a guard of honour before the start of the final 122.2km stage fittingly held at the Geraint Thomas National Velodrome of Wales in Newport.
Thousands of spectators lined the route to show their appreciation for the 39-year-old, as the riders headed past the local club, Maindy Flyers, where Thomas started cycling as a child, as well as his parents’ house, with a climb of Caerphilly Mountain before finishing on North Road in central Cardiff.
