Geraint Thomas: “I’ve won a massive race”

June 10 ^th 2018 - 15:42

“It’s amazing to win such a prestigious race. It’s incredible. I didn’t let myself thinking so far ahead. I was always thinking of the next day or the next day. Now I realize I’ve won a massive race. Punctures today didn’t really help. I had to chase back on. The guys rode really well for me. On the last climb, I just knew I had about 1’20’’ to lose on Yatesy. Each kilometre, I was more confident and happier. Finally, at 200 to go, when they started sprinting for the win, I was like relieved. I can rest a little bit and wait for July. This is a confidence booster for the Tour.”
