Geraint Thomas will proceed to focus on using the Grand Tours in 2024, however doesn’t rule out that he’ll experience the spring classics once more the next yr.
“That’s how it started for me,” Thomas says in regards to the classics.
For subsequent season, the Welshman hinted that he would experience the Giro d’Italia and the Tour de France. He completed second in the Giro final yr behind Primoz Roglic. If Thomas rides the Giro, this may rule out a critical spring marketing campaign.
“I don’t think that will work next year. Maybe if I only ride the Tour, then I can ride some classics. But then you have to race them all,” mentioned Thomas.
“I don’t think you can just race one or two classics,” mentioned the 37 year-old rider who gained the E3 Harelbeke in 2015.
“You really have to ride a full spring, maybe that can be done in 2025. I would really like to do that in my last year, because that is where it all started for me. It would be a bit like Brad (Bradley Wiggins in 2015), but I wouldn’t finish with Paris-Roubaix. Even though he continued a bit afterwards. But in 2025 I would really like to go back to the classics.”
