Although the road to this year’s Giro d’Italia hasn’t been the smoothest for Geraint Thomas this season, the Ineos captain finds himself at the top of the Giro general classification after some strong riding and the unfortunate departure of race leader Remco Evenepoel due to COVID-19
This could possibly be the last Giro that Thomas rides. The Welshman has ridden for Ineos Grenadiers – previously Team Sky – for almost the entirety of his stellar career. Joining in 2010, the year of the Team’s inception, he has raced on Pinarello bikes exclusively.
In a professional road career that includes a 2018 Tour de France victory, multiple stage race and single day wins, as well as a Commonwealth Games road race title for Wales. Thomas will long be remembered as a gritty, no-nonsense rider, who has delivered at the very highest level for over a decade.
We have looked back through the Welshman’s race bikes from this year as well as previous years, including several iterations of the Pinarello Dogma as well as cutting-edge TT tech and Paris Roubaix suspension setups.

What is Geraint Thomas’ bike for 2023?
Not much has changed at all for the Ineos Pinarello Dogma bike package overall for 2023. The team kit itself, which is made by Bioracer, got a splash of colour and this is mirrored with the bike paint scheme. The fork legs and top tube gain an orange, red and purple pattern for 2023.
Thomas and the majority of the Ineos riders are using the MOST Talon (Pinarello’s own component brand) integrated handlebar and stem setup, which Pinarello has refined over the last few years to save weight. The seatpost is also proprietary to the Dogma frame.
Shimano provides the groupset and wheels with a Dura-Ace R9200 12-speed groupset, including hydraulic brakes and a power meter chainset. Shimano Dura-Ace wheels in a range of depths are also included in the package. Ineos also have access to Princeton carbonworks wheels for road and TT events. Team Ineos use Continental tyres, usually a variant of the new GP5000 range.
The saddle is an Arione model provided by Fizik, whilst what surely must be the most popular bottle cage in the World Tour: The Elite Leggero carbon is on bottle duty.
What size is Geraint Thomas bike?
Geraint Thomas rides a Size 56 Pinarello Dogma F which has a stack of 613.3mm and a reach of 393.3mm (assuming it’s an off-the-peg geometry).
