The inspiring inside story from the 2018 Tour de France and the winner of Sports Personality of the Year.
Geraint Thomas seemed to be blessed with exceptional talent but also had poor results in the world's greatest cycling race: twice an Olympic gold medalist on track, Commonwealth champion, but in the Tour de France he fell victim to accidents, misfortunes, and his willingness to sacrifice himself for his teammates. In the summer of 2018, this curse was spectacularly lifted - from the cobblestones of the north and the iconic mountain climbs of the Alps to the tough slopes of the Pyrenees and, finally, the Champs-Elysees in Paris.
Over the course of July, through twenty-one stages and three weeks, and under constant attacks from his rivals, he made the race his own. With guidance from the significant people around Geraint, this is the inside story of one of the most thrilling and moving narratives in sports. Not only can good people come first - they can win the greatest prize of all.
