Former champion Geraint Thomas admits he considered delaying his planned retirement so he could compete in the 2027 Tour de France - which begins in Britain and runs through his native Wales.
The 2018 Tour de France winner and double Olympic track cycling champion Geraint Thomas speaks to BBC Breakfast's Mike Bushell about his plans to retire at the end of this season.
Geraint Thomas says that the sacrifice of being away from his family in the final years of his career has paid off with a podium finish in the Giro D'Italia.
