Choosing the Moment of Farewell

Well, that's that then. G has raced his final ever Tour de France stage. From the youngest man in the race who finished 140th back in 2007, to the 2018 winner, and now the oldest guy in the race. It's been a truly remarkable journey.

Yesterday's ride around Paris was G's 282nd Tour stage. Yes, you are reading that correctly.

The rain fell on Paris and put paid to our best laid plans to bring you a finish line pod with G but, once he'd dried off, had a shower and a celebratory beer, he joined Tom for a chat at the team hotel to reflect on a momentous day.

Enjoy - and thank you, G.
