After much speculation,
Geraint Thomas made it officially official earlier this week, that at the end of the 2025 season, the Welsh
INEOS Grenadiers leader will be retiring from professional cycling. A long-time servant of the British based team, tributes have since been pouring in from Thomas' teammates.
"He's a great teammate, a great leader and a wonderful person - always with a great sense of humour," commented fellow former
Tour de France winner
Egan Bernal ahead of the Clásica Jaén on Monday. "I have vivid memories of racing two Tours with him, the one in which he won and then the one I won the following year and he got second. I just wish him all the best for the rest of his career and for everything else, too."
