Geraint Thomas is going to be 36 hours on the rollers to raise money for the NHS, the British health care system. That is, the Welsh racing cyclist on Saturday with you. The 33-year-old Thomas will start Wednesday morning at home in his garage in Cardiff at the time, spread over three days, with three sessions of twelve hours each.
“That is similar to the heroes in the health care sector, which, in these times, shifts from twelve hours to run,” said Thomas. “For my team to maintain an action had been called to play their part in a million of the disinfectant handgels to manufacture, and which is free of charge to the Uk and European hospitals in order to distribute it, but I want to be your own name, to have something to do. On a bike, it is the best of what I can do, and so do I-but for three days, from 7.30 am to 19.30.”
“I don’t think that it was especially hard mentally you will be. It is the longest that I have previously been continuously on the bike, sat down, and was about eight hours. The stages in the Tour de France, there is also an after-hours, or four. At speeds of 50 miles per hour, as the Tour is, it should not be expected. I’m going to have about 200 watts of pedaling a steady pace, so to say. It will come out in the end. Hopefully, it brings a lot of money into the coffers of the NHS, which is such a great job.”

Like everyone around the country, I’ve been blown away by the hard work of the NHS at the moment. To show my support and try to raise a few quid, I’m doing the only thing I know how and show-jumping on my bike. I’ll be doing three 12 hour shifts on Zwift, starting at 7:30am on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. You’ll be able to ride alongside of me on Zwift and also watch me live, in suffering, in my garage ?? I hope people will be able to make even the smallest donation to a great cause, and hopefully a few of you will come and ride with me. Anyone fancy doing the whole 36 hours?!

The season is due to the coronapandemie, at least before the 1st of June. Thomas reiterated that he would like to hope that there is at least one of the Tour de France is coming. Who would be in on the 27th of June, from the start, but the delay will be considered. “The Tour is the pinnacle of our sport. I pray and hope that he can get, when it doesn’t matter,” says Thomas. “There is, of course, first and more important things to deal with, but as soon as it is safe to price, we would like to do the same. “
Thomas has won the Tour at the end of 2018, and last year’s runner-up, after his Colombian team-mate Egan Bernal.
