Ineos confirm Geraint Thomas as new Head of Racing
Geraint Thomas has been confirmed as the new Head of Racing for Ineos Grenadiers, stepping into a management role immediately after retiring from racing for the team.
"This team has been my home since day one, and stepping into this role feels like a natural next step," Thomas was quoted in the press release. "I’ve learnt so much from the people around me - fellow riders and staff - and I now want to continue building on our incredible past success into the future.
Dave Brailsford added: "Geraint typifies what it means to be a Grenadier. He has lived and breathed elite performance throughout his career. He always set himself very ambitious goals and invariably went on to achieve them.
"He knows what the process takes, how to deal with the highs and lows of elite sport and his willingness to now share this and mentor others to do the same is a great asset for the team. The fact that he has stayed so humble and always maintained a great sense of humour are also great attributes to bring to his new role."
