Geraint Thomas reflects on a 'whirlwind' Tour de France victory

Twenty-four hours after winning the Tour de France, the magnitude of the achievement does not seem to have sunk in for Geraint Thomas.

The 2018 champion sealed his maiden Grand Tour victory in Paris on the Champs-Elysees after a near-perfect performance over the three-week race.

"It's a massive whirlwind, it's been manic," said the 32-year-old, who attended a Team Sky homecoming event at Sky Studios in west London on Monday.

"It was just an unknown for me.

It was the first time I'd raced for the win over three weeks so to do it was amazing.

It wasn't really until the night before the time trial on the last day when I actually thought I could pull it off.".

Thomas is the third British cyclist - after Sir Bradley Wiggins and Chris Froome - and first Welshman to win the Tour.

Castles in Wales have turned yellow to celebrate his victory, and the Cardiff-born rider admits the support he received from Welsh fans in France spurred him on.

"It was incredible," said Thomas.

"Every year there are more and more Welsh flags and you always seem to spot them even when you're not looking for them.

It means so much and you do get a boost from it on the road in the race.".

Thomas was not the only Welsh rider in the Team Sky line-up.

Luke Rowe, who grew up with Thomas in Cardiff, admits he is delighted for his childhood friend.

"It's incredible," said Rowe.

"We go way back to being eight, 10, 12-year-olds riding BMXs round the streets, and then I look up on the Champs-Elysees and he's on the top step of the podium.

"He's been part of the Tour de France winning team four times prior to this, I think, and that would've been purely working for other people.

So when you see someone putting it on the line for other people, throwing away their own chances and then they get rewarded - that's nice to see.

"He's on cloud nine at the moment.

Every time you say 'Tour de France champion' he still can't quite get his head around it.

I think it's the case for me as well.

A kid that you've grown up with has gone on to do that! Chapeau to him for an incredible three weeks.".

Thomas and Rowe first met at Maindy Flyers - a youth cycling club in Cardiff's northern suburbs.

Alan Davis was their coach and could see Thomas' potential from an early age.

"He was a fantastic kid," he explained.

"A little quiet to start with, but the speed with which he learnt and how quickly he became really good made you think; maybe this kid has got something.

"At 13 years old we went to Manchester for the national track championships and he won the bronze medal in an U16 event.

That's where he was spotted.

"When Geraint was 16 he did his first-ever junior road race against all the best kids in Britain.

I think it was three laps of a 20-mile circuit.

On the second lap he bridged across to the lead group on his own, rode away from them with one other rider and then on the final climb he dropped that rider.".

Sixteen years later, Thomas is the Tour de France champion and is dealing with the extra attention he is getting in his own laidback style.

"I'm just going to try and take it in my stride as I did in the race," Thomas said.

"It's a massive honour to wear the yellow jersey at any point in the race, and the longer I was wearing it the more comfortable I felt in it and everything else that came with it.

"I'm going to catch up on some sleep; it's hard to think at the moment! I'll enjoy the next couple of weeks.

Obviously there are still races left in the season, but I'm not sure what my programme will be.

Then, I'll set some big goals for next year.".

How to Make a Toy Goes-and-Comes with Plastic Bottles - Duration: 8:40.

Hello, my name is Djalma Junior (Djalminha) and today I'm going to teach you how to make an interesting toy:

The Come-and-Come, or Vuco-Vuco. made of plastic bottles, like this one. Come with me.

Now 'we're going to test the Come-and-Come, or Vuco-Vuco.

Wait, do not shut down the internet, no.

Click here on the Good, on LIKE.

Because before you watch the video, I already know you'll like it.

So, click here on the Like, Like. Because this video is very interesting.

The materials used are: - Two plastic bottles of one liter of refrigerant;

I'm going to use these here, but you can use these smaller here, ...

... because they are easier to find.

A PVC pipe for water, half a meter in size.

Such a saw here; a scissor, ;

A stiletto, a watercolor pen for writing on CDs.

A soldering iron.

And again: we will use half a meter of this plastic tube in PVC of 20 millimeters in diameter.

You can buy it from the building materials store.

We need 10 meters of twisted cable like this one.

You can buy it from a sewing material store or at a shoemaker's material store,

Let's start by drilling a hole in the plastic bottle.

And we'll cut it more or less around here. Look.

Let's start with a hole made with a stiletto.

This bottle is already pierced. I previously asked an adult to drill...

Caution: children can not play with a stiletto.

... and I'm going to cut it.

Ready. I cut the part of this bottle, and now I'll cut the other

Now I'm going to put the two parts together.

I was able to position one inside the other. But look, it was not easy.

Now let's use the insulation tape to fix the two parts together.

Ready. I finished. Look the way it was.

With the marker pen (marker pen) I will mark where the 2 holes will be. Right here.

I'll ask an adult to make the 2 holes here with the soldering iron.

Because child can not play with fire or with heat.

Now I'm going to cut into 4 equal pieces the PVC pipe.

Each piece will be 12 inches long. I'll fix the tube here on this lathe.

I've already marked it where it's 12 centimeters. And now I'm going to saw.

I finished. The finished piece was 12 centimeters.

I've already sawn the 4 pieces, and now I'm going to remove the burrs left after the sawdust.

Look. It was like this.

I'll mark here where the two holes will be made with the soldering iron.

I'll have an adult drill the holes with the soldering iron.

Look how it was.

I cut 2 3-meter pieces of twisted and waxed cable.

Now I'm going to get one of these and go through that hole first. Look.

Now I'm going to get one of these and go through that hole first. Look.

It was already on the other side.

Now I get the twisted cable and step through the other hole here.

I'll use scissors to make the job easier.

So we pass these two through those holes.

Ready. Now I'm going to put the braided cable in here.

Those two here pieces of cable here. .

Ready. Now I'll take the lid and screw it in the bottle.

You rotate the cap 2 turns in the opposite direction so the cable does not get twisted inside the bottle.

And you screw the lid.

Look. The handle was straight without being twisted. Look.

Let's do whatever we did on these handles here, but now we'll do it with these.

Ready. Now I'm going to play with somebody else.

Look, this one we bought in a store.

And this, we did, is almost the same. Did not stay?

For a child under 10 years of age, ...

... should not be more than 1,80 meters, the distance of this handle to this handle.
