Massively deserved. He finally got that high profile win he needed. He was just perfect over the past 3 weeks, showing no signs of weakness or any setback at all, chapeau
I don't think Emma's cut out to be a GCN presenter. We can't have spot on predictions on GCN. That's 2 for 2 already with the Giro Rosa and now the Tour de France.
Well done Dan..tks for walking us through 'G's' palmares. Completely warranted plaudits for this likeable Welsh Wonder. Even us Aussies like him. Great piece to camera...perhaps this will silence some who question this seemingly out of nowhere performance. Chapeau 👍
So very happy that G has got his Tour win. No one has deserved it more, and he has proved time and time again that he is seriously tough and a great guy to boot. ☺️
sooo happy he won. so happpy that T D was second. and the way T D and chris froome met at the end of the TT was lovely. as dan ( or someone else ) said. froome has won 6 grand tours and never once publicly complained that he was not the sole leader. speaks highly of him , as well as the camaraderie of the team. last but not least, GCN has made the tour 100's of times more fun to watch and listen to. thank you so very very much for that
The biggest possible chapeau to Geraint, I was jumping around my living room as he finished the TT. The expression ‘couldn’t happen to a nicer fella’ was never more true.
Glad G got the win. With Froomey's inhaler stress and Giro double commitment, IMHO Sky prepped GT just in case Chris wouldn't show up for the TdF. Another bonus was the French public didn't mind G winning relative to the vitriol directed to Froomey.
How a guy could crash that many times that hard and still keep going amazes me. That one you showed twice where he crashes on his chest is going to give me nightmares. Chapeau and many beers to him. And to Emma for calling it,
He also held the best winner’s speech in recent years. Found myself almost rolling on the floor with laughter when he said Wout Poels’ full name and almost forgot to acknowledge his wife
He did it the first man in the last 30 years to win the Tour de France on a 14 kg bike. We praise this man's gigantic legs to push that bike up the mountains with no dope and only 1 beer as fluid. What a legend!!!
Awesome! Well done Geraint and congratulations. Geraint seems a really nice guy and, tbh, nobody should be surprized he won the TdF...he's been a world class cyclist and winner throughout his career and only his share of bad luck has previously stopped him being more successful. Cool for Wales too, what a great lift Geraint has given his nation. Well done, Again, Team Sky too, despite the disgusting crap they got from jelli, pathetic, French spectators. Makes Geraints win all the more brilliant n great to rub in the haters faces. Goooo Geraint Thomas, Team Sky, Wales.
i love this show and all it's cousins. great stuff, great presenters and always useful ! could you do a show that analyzes solo crashes on descents at high speeds? I am thinking that there must be a way to calculate the "breaking point" on any given corner the way we calculate any aspect of cycling. i foresee a new niche in cycling computers here... real time computer assisted warnings ... military spec stuff.
Geraint does just about everything right these days except wearing a nice pair of sunglasses!! Hahaha I had those glasses years ago but if he loves them then more power to him! Congrats on the win Geraint!!
0:46 Not true, he lost some time when Primož Roglič won the stage and also Roglič gained some time on Thomas in stage where Omar Freile won(s14 I think). Also lost time on Porte from BMC in TTT.
We've seen an Irishman win, two Englishman and now a Welshman. All we're missing now is a Scotsman. Any possibilities on the radar screen?Congratulations to Geraint Thomas!
Well done!! No doping whatsoever, shows that it is possible to win without being doped. Imagine that, someone winning without doping? Who would have beleived it was possible without doping? That will show the haters... no doping at all...
Was just realizing that Geraint always wore that same Oakley Racing Jacket throughout almost his entire career. I always thought Racing Jacket was a bit ugly compared to other Oakleys, but hey. You guys should definitely ask him about it when meeting next time!
Lowering pressure in the front tire would solve the ''Low sides'' in a fast corner. Problem is that it increases the drag. Depends on the overall result.
thanks for the brilliant GCN show!! I value the honest opinion that GCN gives, the question was GT clean in the TDF. reason being the controversy SKY so called TUES scandal of late . incl the WIGGS scandal as well. The question is can a pro cyclist win a Grand Tour on bread and water alone, u get my meaning[? Thanks
How about an episode of having two TdF champions in a team and what it effects to the team dynamics? Will Team Sky participate in the TdF next year with both Geraint and Froome and if so, how are they going to organize the team? Is it possible to have two cyclists in a team who both know they can win? When was the last time any team had two winners in their teams? These are the questions that I would like to see discussed and speculated.
Hasnt suffered from bad luck? The dude has broken/ punctured/split every common bone, and organ injury for any cyclist, including his pelvis! The bloke is ballsy
Hit that thumbs up button!
cheers!
That was nothing less than superb !!
Global Cycling Network is he Welsh? Geraint Thomas
Wait no I saw now sorry
I like your channel but sorry this doper is a big turn off
Thank you = Obrigado
Massively deserved. He finally got that high profile win he needed. He was just perfect over the past 3 weeks, showing no signs of weakness or any setback at all, chapeau
I love his Oakleys you can always recognize him...
Jared Fontaine We call them the 'Dame Ednas'!
M.O.A.B. the self build motorhome. I think he’ll like that
They look like the dime store shades my mom wore 50 years ago!
I don't think Emma's cut out to be a GCN presenter. We can't have spot on predictions on GCN. That's 2 for 2 already with the Giro Rosa and now the Tour de France.
I think Emma should send the boys to the GCN dog house for a little whine and a moan. They could drink coffee and wonder, "WHY is she ALWAYS right?"
Geraint Thomas - a perfect example of persistence, hard work & relaxed approach. He deserved the title!
Cheers to Geraint what an accomplishment! Props to Froomie as well for being a good sportsman to his teammate 👍🚲💯
Wow a well deserved win for him!! Chapeau!!
Well done Geraint, a humble and very worthy winner 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Campeão merecido!
Well done, G! Big respect from Brazil.
Thanks, Dan. I'm very happy to see G win the Tour this year!!!
The real Mr Nice Guy, epitomises all that is good about cycling. true grit and determination. Well done G
We think so Phill 👍
Great piece. Thanks! He throughly deserves the win today!
Had his Spleen removed?! Marginal weight saving gains to the Max!
Liam Sangaku Haha!
Liam Sangaku grams are grams
I thought we all did that😉
Liam Sangaku lucky.just his seen if it was his pancreas then....
Bravo Geraint Thomas👍😀
Awesome to know where he came from and who he was when he was younger
Dan, just a great video, an excellent presentation on a world class cyclist and a world class fellow! thank you!
Very nicely done. Thanks, GCN!
It's a good day when you can binge watch gcn
Good choice
Binge watch with friends on big LED TV :D
Well done Dan..tks for walking us through 'G's' palmares. Completely warranted plaudits for this likeable Welsh Wonder. Even us Aussies like him. Great piece to camera...perhaps this will silence some who question this seemingly out of nowhere performance. Chapeau 👍
So very happy that G has got his Tour win. No one has deserved it more, and he has proved time and time again that he is seriously tough and a great guy to boot. ☺️
Chapeau! This is the kind of personal background information about professional cycling that we do not often see. More, please.
sooo happy he won. so happpy that T D was second. and the way T D and chris froome met at the end of the TT was lovely.
as dan ( or someone else ) said. froome has won 6 grand tours and never once publicly complained that he was not the sole leader. speaks highly of him , as well as the camaraderie of the team.
last but not least, GCN has made the tour 100's of times more fun to watch and listen to. thank you so very very much for that
kunal mithrill comedy That is so great to hear, thank you for watching!
Love Geraint. what a genuinely nice bloke. Cymru am byth
I've just completed his book. Thoroughly enjoyed
I cannot believe this! So happy, he grew up near me and my mum works with his mum :D
Nice connection!
Global Cycling Network I've been bugging my mum to ask her if I can get autographs from all of Team Sky 😅
Love it. Well done to thom dum an froome not to mention all other riders.
Great tribute, GCN!
The biggest possible chapeau to Geraint, I was jumping around my living room as he finished the TT. The expression ‘couldn’t happen to a nicer fella’ was never more true.
An awesome gentleman rider. Very well deserved win. Chapeau.
Love these bio videos! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it Brian
This is so fascinating...
I like it so much! It made me know more about Geraint Thomas. Hats off to Dan.
Thanks for tuning in Omaris
You're welcome. (^_^)v
What a bloody legend!!!
Glad G got the win. With Froomey's inhaler stress and Giro double commitment, IMHO Sky prepped GT just in case Chris wouldn't show up for the TdF. Another bonus was the French public didn't mind G winning relative to the vitriol directed to Froomey.
I love that dudes out there 30+ years of age are still ripping it in many sports.
Well done Geraint! This couldn,t have been won by a nicer fella.
How a guy could crash that many times that hard and still keep going amazes me. That one you showed twice where he crashes on his chest is going to give me nightmares. Chapeau and many beers to him. And to Emma for calling it,
A great effort, and we're not sure how to deal with Emma getting these predictions right!
Well put together. Great video
Thanks Owen, glad you enjoyed it
He also held the best winner’s speech in recent years. Found myself almost rolling on the floor with laughter when he said Wout Poels’ full name and almost forgot to acknowledge his wife
Comes from Cardiff I'm proud
He did it the first man in the last 30 years to win the Tour de France on a 14 kg bike.
We praise this man's gigantic legs to push that bike up the mountains with no dope and only 1 beer as fluid. What a legend!!!
Danfuerth Gillis imagine if it was at least 7.8kgs
glenny oc lmfao they would all protest over 1 kg increase.
Chapeau G and GCN.
What a man amazing
Brilliant cyclist and bloke. Really happy he got the win.
Congratulations Geraint. Well deserved.
Congrats from Roath!
We are very proud of Geraint Thomas at our shop in NYC! He did a REALLY Amazing job! Fantastic job Team Sky!!
We still love Peter Sagan tho! haha.
What did Emma get for calling it?
Fired. Can't be having GCN presenters getting predictions right.. that would almost be as bad as being able to pronounce riders' names correctly!
40-1 I hope😋
A mineral water
Da iawn Geraint🏴🏴💪🏻
Good Job Geraint :)
Yes G! Super lad super win
Dan you should host this is your life
😂
The story inspires me to keep on riding 👍.
Awesome! Well done Geraint and congratulations. Geraint seems a really nice guy and, tbh, nobody should be surprized he won the TdF...he's been a world class cyclist and winner throughout his career and only his share of bad luck has previously stopped him being more successful.

Goooo Geraint Thomas, Team Sky, Wales.
Great winner 👍👍 please ride a lot classics in Belgium 😀
Onya Thomo still remember seeing him fly up the Corkscrew at TDU few years ago.
Great video guys, really enjoyed that.
Cheers Clem 👍

Hi j en, that's great to hear! Interesting stuff, it is certainly something we could look into 👍
Very cool video guys. Cheers. And cheers G!!
Thanks Joel 👍
G .. take a bow son , take a bow 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Grande Thomas
Geraint does just about everything right these days except wearing a nice pair of sunglasses!! Hahaha I had those glasses years ago but if he loves them then more power to him! Congrats on the win Geraint!!
Nice piece Dan!
Cheers Charles
Who is Geraint Thomas? Geraint Thomas is a Legend.
0:46 Not true, he lost some time when Primož Roglič won the stage and also Roglič gained some time on Thomas in stage where Omar Freile won(s14 I think). Also lost time on Porte from BMC in TTT.
Congrats to Geraint Thomas...
Welsh blood... Absolute gent of a guy
Congrats to Thomas! Really happy for him, he seems a really nice guy. Giro tour double still seems impossible though.
absolute legend
🏴🏴Welsh and proud🏴🏴
look at that both Froome and G started out in the same pro team and now look where they are now
He's the Welsh guy who just won tour de france of course! :-)
Great summary 👌
His Oakley are his character, his gate, it's what makes him standout, leave him alone
brilliant
We've seen an Irishman win, two Englishman and now a Welshman. All we're missing now is a Scotsman. Any possibilities on the radar screen?Congratulations to Geraint Thomas!
Barry Monaghan sorry but what 2 english have won ..?
Bradley Wiggins(2012) and Chris Froome(2013, 2015-2017)
one born in Belgium, the other in Kenya
I believe their both British Citizens.In any case were still missing a Scotsman.
On ya G!
Oh, that is the guy that rides with swimming goggles.. I think I've seen him once in a triathlon..! 😂
It's like his bad luck finally ran out and was able to have a perfect Tour.
He sits at the top table with Gar, The Prince, Benny, JPR and Sam don't get better than that ;-)
Don’t care for Froome and Sky . But you have to respect Thomas !
Nice guys do sometimes win. Well done Geraint. Canlyniad Gwych .
he's done Wales and Britain proud
Well done!! No doping whatsoever, shows that it is possible to win without being doped. Imagine that, someone winning without doping? Who would have beleived it was possible without doping? That will show the haters... no doping at all...
Why would anyone give this a thumbs down??
Clearly French would...their fan behaviour in the tour is a discredit to their nation😦

Daniel, did I see your name on the side of G’s hat on the podium?
thanks for the brilliant GCN show!! I value the honest opinion that GCN gives, the question was GT clean in the TDF. reason being the controversy SKY so called TUES scandal of late . incl the WIGGS scandal as well. The question is can a pro cyclist win a Grand Tour on bread and water alone, u get my meaning[? Thanks
I wish you guys included the clip of G hugging Dave and his wife looking on super jealous.
What about a video on the very interesting career of primož roglič?
If I'd win Tour de France, would you make a video about me as well?
Of course!
He seriously ate it on that corner. Respect, sir. Well done.

Serious question!How do you pronounce Geraint properly?
hans wurst ger aint as in pint
With the stress on the first syllable, and always a hard 'G'.
Cham-pee-on.
@jungatheart
Unlike G as in Gerry Adams? Does not really make sense unless you realise it is welsh pronounciation ;)
hans wurst Ger as in ‘air’ and (as Alamin says) aint as in ‘pint’. Also, the ‘r’ stays in the first syllable so it’s Ger-aint rather than Ger-raint.
Which white sunglasses is he using???
YES the first Welshman to win the Tour, it should be Sir Geraint Thomas bet they wont.
Surprise surprise Sky did it again. Better than US Postal
Omg I saw the moment he slide on the wet road while turning on TV.
For one thing he's the guy Emma picked to win the Tour isn't he :-)?
He sure is, good prediction from Emma!
Hasnt suffered from bad luck? The dude has broken/ punctured/split every common bone, and organ injury for any cyclist, including his pelvis! The bloke is ballsy
Bravo GT. Emma called that one
The GCN curse is broken!
