Retired rider to work closely with head of sport Brailsford
‘This team has been my home since day one,’ says Thomas
Geraint Thomas has been appointed as the new director of racing at Ineos Grenadiers, only a few weeks after retiring from competition at this year’s Tour of Britain.
“This team has been my home since day one, and stepping into this role feels like a natural next step,” Thomas said.
The move by Thomas, who was Tour de France winner in 2018, has been long-anticipated and comes after a major management reshuffle at Ineos Grenadiers which has seen sports directors Zak Dempster and Oli Cookson move to the revamped Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe team.
