Geraint Thomas has reiterated that after narrowly missing out on a Giro d’Italia win this year, he still hopes to be given the opportunity to carry on racing at the highest level in 2024 with Ineos Grenadiers.
The Welshman dramatically missed out on the Giro title after being toppled by Jumbo-Visma’s Primož Roglič on the penultimate stage.
However, after a brief period of downtime to reset, the 37-year-old says he is now ready to perform and push for the podium in the elite individual time trial at the Glasgow World Championships.
Speaking to the media, including Cycling Weekly, in Glasgow, Thomas said: "All being well I'll still be racing next year," though when asked if he had heard any updates regarding contract talks with Ineos Grenadiers the answer was "not really, no”. Thomas added: “I was hoping to but there's been nothing else at the minute."
