Summary
Geraint Thomas — Tour de France winner, double Olympic gold medalist, and five-time podium finisher on Grand Tours — joins Elis James, Mike Bubbins, and Steff Garrero this week. He’s chosen a selection of clips that inspired him, fascinated him, or just made him laugh along the way.

This week’s episode features cycling, athletics, and classic moments from sport’s past, all curated by Geraint himself.
