Geraint Thomas has signed a new two-year contract to remain with Team Ineos. “I’m still super motivated to work hard and train hard,” said the 35-year-old, who has been with the team since its inception, as Team Sky, in 2010, going on to win the Tour de France eight years later. “That’s what I love doing. I still really enjoy riding my bike, pushing myself. When you can see the finish line of your professional sporting career, you want to make the most of it every day and make it all count.” Thomas has endured some tough times in 2021, suffering crashes at the Tour de France and in the road race at the Tokyo Olympics. He has spent the past fortnight at his team’s 2022 pre-season camp in Mallorca, preparing for his 16th season as a professional. “He [Thomas] is hungry for more success at the highest level,” said Ineos’s deputy team principal, Rod Ellingworth. “Next season is going to be a real fight. The competition is stronger than ever. We are going all in as a team and Geraint is going to be a big part of that for us.”
