Geraint Thomas Quotes

Brits love an underdog, don't they?
Everyone in the world of cycling knows how much it is a team sport as well as individual. It's just amazing to be a part of.
I am not really superstitious - I get ready in the same order pretty much every day. I'm afraid I'm a bit boring like that.
I don't mind it when people come up to me and say, 'Well done.' That's lovely. The bit that's weird is stuff like... I've had a load of eBay people hounding me. Just sort of getting you to sign stuff which they can then sell.
I get moody when I'm tired or hungry. My missus says I get moody... but not with other people. But I can get grumpy.
I had a normal, nice upbringing in Cardiff.
I have come to see what the Tour is about, and it has been harder than I imagined. You don't realise what it is like until you actually compete.
I just love riding my bike - no more so than at home in Cardiff and in South Wales on the roads where I started out, riding with my mates who I grew up with.
I like riding for five or six hours, then sitting on the sofa staring at the TV. It's my normal.
I miss the BBC when I'm away. I'm away so much that it's a pleasure just walking back through the door and sitting on the sofa to watch some rubbish TV.
I never thought I would grow up writing a book.
I regret not paying a bit more attention to Welsh lessons at school. My Welsh is pretty ropey, as back at my school, people didn't take Welsh lessons seriously. My dad can speak it, so I wish he'd taught me some growing up.
I rode for Maindy Flyers, a local kids' club from Cardiff. We started travelling across the country doing races, but Manchester was the first stage race I did.
I used to run home from school to watch Paris-Nice, so to win it is just crazy.
I want to do marathons; I want to do an Ironman.
I was fortunate to be born when I was. There's been a massive rise in British cycling since I joined the junior programme when I was 17. It all started in 2004 when Chris Hoy won gold for the 1 km. time trial in Athens; when one person starts doing well, they take everyone with them.
I'm a big fan of Anthony Joshua.
I've put on a helmet more times than I've buckled a seatbelt.
I've won the Tour. But no, I don't feel I'm a celebrity.
In a stage race, you can have bad luck or make a mistake, and it's not the end of the race. You have more opportunities.
