In 2014, Chris Froome had to withdraw from the Tour de France due to an injury. Of course, the journalists began to run immediately to the coach of the Sky team. The Briton did not meet, but another man appeared there. Apparently someone asked him, in what role he works in Sky. He replied that he is a cyclist and named Geraint Thomas. Four years later, the same man was drinking champagne on the Champs Elysees as winner of the Grande Boucle.
"Kwiato" will go to Poland
If this story is true, it's not the best for a reporter who asks such a question. The Welsh was already twice Olympic champion, although in track cycling. The scene, however, shows which path "G", as they call it, from one of many to the first-magnitude star. He even finished the Tour de France on Sunday, he started as "reserve chief". Number one was Chris Froome. He won the Great Loop a year ago, then he triumphed at the Vuelta a Espana, and in the spring of this year he won the Giro d'Italia victory. He traveled to France in an atmosphere of great commotion caused by exceeding the authorized dose of salbutamol, which he was finally rid of, but everyone said. Chris, however, wanted to become the first since Marco Pantani, who will win the Giro and the Tour in one season. Nothing, he finished third. His friend won, so "Plan G" worked. One can only regret and wonder what the race would look like if the sky boss in the role of Thomas saw Michał Kwiatkowski. However, the Pole did a tour as an assistant and performed his tasks in an impressive way. He was in the race the best of those who knew at first that they would not be able to think of themselves. He has left a heart on the road and will wait until the time has come for his luck. A year ago, after the Tour de France, he moved to Spain and won the Clasica San Sebastian. Now, we will most likely see him in Poland on the Tour of Poland and who knows he will not fight for the win.

I knew I was able to defeat these players, but to do it on the road to the greatest race in the world … It's amazing! – Geraint said Saturday
Michał Gołaś, a Polish running every day under the colors of Sky, said that Thomas is a titan of work. – I know a lot of better drivers, but few are capable of such sacrifices as he – "Goły" said. "None of those who know him has any doubt about how much he deserves this success, his loyalty and his work ethic are at the level that everyone should aspire to – wrote Saturday the excellent British sprinter Mark Cavendish.
