Cardiff lad wins Tour de France

Well done Geraint Thomas on winning one of the toughest sporting competitions on Earth. I hope this inspires more kids.

This is a massive achievement, For a small nation you have a knack of producing real superstars, well done GT, what a victory, he's also a top man no Billy big bollocks totally down to earth, you should be really proud of this, top stuff!

Always comes across as a decent bloke on TV and talking to people who know him they always speak well of him.

Love a bit of Welsh sporting success no matter what sport! Well done G!

Don't think he supports City, anyone know?

Don't think he supports City, anyone know?

Although, he follows Cardiff city Twitter account so maybe he does?! Could've at least done an Ayatollah over the line, maybe he's saving that for tomorrow in Paris?!!

Not forgetting G's Cardiff and Sky team-mate Luke Rowe who after today's stage is 130th and 3H 50' 31'' behind Thomas.
It could be Rowe's best finish of Le Tour after 136th in 2015, 151st in 2016 and in 2017 167th and last which won Luke the Lanterne Rouge... for being the last finisher.

Geraint is a Bluebird! Anhygoel!

My son is getting married in his country house next year, thank goodness he’s booked it, the price may sky rocket now.

Geraint is a Bluebird! Anhygoel!

He's now an even bigger legend in my eyes!

We've certainly had a good year,well done GT

As a City fan he should be invited to walk onto the pitch either before kick off or at half-time v Newcastle

llongyfarchiadau geraint

I was going to start a thread on this at the start of this week of how close Geraint Thomas was to making history.

All we need now is for GT to stay on his bike and enjoy the ride home

This guy has worked hard over the years and played 2nd - 3rd fiddle to Wiggins and Froome ( both winners ).

Back home it's been all about Bale and Wharburton,but now Whitchurch High have another lad to be proud of .

Enjoy your day Geriant ..... It's Coming Home

Taught GT at Birchgrove Primary for two years . Lovely lad , even back then , with lovely parents. So proud of him . Supported Arsenal back in the day though !

We all make mistakes when we're younger. Hahaha.

This should make most of the back pages of tomorrows press - if not the front page ( local ).

So happy for the lad who has spent years working hard for this fantastic day for himself.
