Tour de France winner Geraint Thomas made a guest appearance in Monmouth on Friday night (9th November).

The three-time Olympic gold medallist signed copies of his new book, The Tour According to G: My Journey to the Yellow Jersey, in a sell-out event organised by Rossiter Books.

A packed Blake Theatre audience was thrilled to hear Geraint recall his epic cycling victory in July, becoming only the third Briton to seal Tour de France glory.

Cycling fans, including 11-year-old Ben, a pupil at Monmouth School for Boys, enjoyed buying copies of the new book and meeting their sporting hero.
