"This year G was the strongest rider, and he finally had Lady Luck on his side. An unstoppable combination." (Chris Froome)
"I understand what Geraint's win meant for him, for me, for the team, and for Wales, too." (Dave Brailsford)
"Wow." (Thierry Henry)
For years, Geraint Thomas appeared blessed with extraordinary talent but jinxed at the greatest bike race in the world twice Olympic gold medalist on the track, Commonwealth champion, yet at the Tour de France a victim of crashes, bad luck, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for his teammates.
In the summer of 2018, that curse was blown away in spectacular fashion - from the cobbles of the North and the iconic mountain climbs of the Alps to the brutal slopes of the Pyrenees, and finally, the Champs-Elysees in Paris. As a boy, G had run home from school of summer afternoons to watch the Tour on television. This past July, across 21 stages and three weeks, and under constant attack from his rivals, he made the race his own.
With insight from the key characters around Geraint, this is the inside story of one of the most thrilling and heartwarming tales in sport.
Not only can nice guys come first - they can win the biggest prize of all.

The Tour According to G My Journey to the Yellow Jersey Audible Audio Edition Geraint Thomas Dafydd Pritchard Hachette Audio Books Reviews
- If you are a fan of cycling, specifically the Tour, I highly recommend this book. Geraint Thomas gives an honest account of his thoughts and feelings during the 2018 tour. It's a unique perspective especially since he (GT) was initially riding for Froome. He doesn't hold back on his thoughts and feelings as the tour progressed and he was in great form. I feel as if I better understand the physical and mental demands that are placed on professional cyclists. This is a well written book.
- This was an honest and authentic account of G's Tour de France victory. I couldn't put the, oh, so readable, account down. I was left wanting more which is a great feeling to have at the end of a book. I definitely recommend it to experienced and novice riders and sports lovers in general.
Two thumbs up and a good old Churchill "V" for victory sign too! - From the crashes to the climbs G describes his thoughts feelings and logic. An excellent description of what it's like to be riding the Tour de France. Definitely read-worthy though some of the descriptions become a tad tedious otherwise I'd given 5 stars.
- Geraint Thomas is one of the more laconic riders in the peloton. That’s not a great trait for an author. But, if you like the tour, if you are a fan of the race, you need to read this.
- You know the outcome but it's still exciting to get G's version of what was actually going on. Easy to read & difficult to put down.
- I really enjoy how G describes The Tour and this is a very entertaining book.
- This is a great read for anyone who is a fan of the Tour de France
- G's book answered things I wondered about as I watched the tour. I'm hoping for a repeat this summer!
