The Tour According to G: My Journey to the Yellow Jersey

Geraint Thomas: The Inside Story of a Tour de France Champion charts the remarkable rise of one of Britain’s most beloved cyclists. For years, Thomas dazzled on the track—winning two Olympic gold medals and a Commonwealth title—yet the Tour de France remained elusive, marred by crashes, bad luck and his unwavering loyalty to teammates.

Everything changed in the summer of 2018. Across 21 gruelling stages, from the cobbles of northern France to the legendary climbs of the Alps and Pyrenees, Thomas delivered one of the most inspiring performances in modern cycling. Under relentless pressure from rivals, he seized control of the race and rode into Paris in yellow, fulfilling the dream he’d had since sprinting home from school to watch the Tour on TV.

Featuring insight from the key figures who supported him, this book offers a vivid, behind‑the‑scenes account of a historic victory—one that proved not only that nice guys can finish first, but that they can win the biggest prize in world cycling. Heart‑warming, dramatic and deeply human, it’s an essential read for fans of the Tour de France and sporting triumphs against the odds.
