‘I’m jealous of everything in his career’ – Michal Kwiatkowski pays tribute to teammate Geraint Thomas as Welshman rides last race

Geraint Thomas’ last days as a pro racer may be currently unfolding in the Tour of Britain, but even as the former Tour de France winner continues his long farewell on the roads of England and Wales, riders and teammates are still keen to recognise just how much the 39-year-old has given to the sport.

“I’m kind of jealous, not that Geraint’s retiring but of everything in his career,” Michał Kwiatkowski, a teammate of Thomas’ for the last decade at Ineos Grenadiers and currently racing in the Vuelta a España, recently told Cyclingnews.
