Geraint lifts the lid on his Tour de France triumph

Geraint Thomas, Motorpoint Arena, Cardiff

FRESH from his Tour de France triumph, Geraint Thomas will discuss his historic win with broadcaster Ned Boulting for one night only at Motorpoint Arena Cardiff on Monday October 1.

The first ever Welshman to win the Tour de France, Geraint Thomas will return to his hometown to chat cycling - from Wales to the cobbles of the Champs Elysee via Olympic and world titles.

Geraint will reveal untold stories from the tour, and with the help of ITV’s Boulting, will relive the unforgettable moment when he crossed the finish line to secure his own place in the history books. Geraint will take a trip down memory lane to his early days of cycling with the Maindy Flyers Cycling Club in Cardiff and will explain to his hometown how dreaming big and working hard can lead you to the top of the podium.

Geraint Thomas is one of the most successful cyclists of all time. As well as winning the Tour de France in July, he is a double Olympic and triple World Champion.

Growing up on the outskirts of Cardiff, Geraint always dreamed of being a professional cyclist and spent most of his free time at the Maindy Velodrome honing his skills.

Ned Boulting will be on hand to guide Geraint through his career to date. Ned is an awardwinning sports journalist, television presenter and author who has been an integral part of ITV’s Tour de France coverage since 2003.
