Geraint Thomas officially announced the end of his career after the 2025 season on Monday. The 38-year-old announced his decision via his social media channels. "It's about time we made it official. Yes, this is my last year in the peloton," Thomas wrote. "It hasn't been a bad time, has it? Even in my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined I'd be a professional cyclist for 19 years." The Brit emphasised that there will be plenty of time to look back on his career. But first he wanted to prepare for the upcoming big races.

Thomas can look back on an extremely successful career. His greatest triumph was the overall victory at the 2018 Tour de France, and he has also won other major stage races, including the Critérium du Dauphiné, the Tour de Suisse, the Tour de Romandie and Paris-Nice. Thomas spent almost his entire professional career with the British team INEOS Grenadiers and its predecessor Team Sky. The now 38-year-old took his first steps in the professional business in 2005 as a stagiaire with Team Wiesenhof.
Although Thomas has announced the end of his career, there are still some important races on the programme for his final season. He will start at the Tour of the Algarve on Wednesday. Following this, his participation in Tirreno-Adriatico is fixed. The details of his racing calendar for 2025 are not yet known. However, it can be assumed that Thomas will compete in some of the most important races of the year and bid a fitting farewell to the big cycling stage.
