Which British cyclist won the Tour de France ten years after his first Olympic gold medal?

Geraint Howell Thomas (born 25 May 1986) is a Welsh professional racing cyclist who currently rides for Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers, Wales and Great Britain, competing on both track and road. Like older compatriot and teammate on both track and road, Bradley Wiggins, he is one of the few riders in the modern era to achieve significant elite success as both a track and road rider, with notable victories in the velodrome, in one-day racing and in stage racing.

On 17 August, 2008, Thomas was a member of the Olympic team pursuit squad which broke the world record in the heats with a time of 3:55.202, beating their Russian opponents comfortably to go through to the final ride-off for silver and gold. The following day, on their way to winning the gold medal, the British Team pursuit broke their own world record in a time of 3:53.314, beating their Danish competitors by 6.7 seconds.

Ten years later Thomas won the 2018 Tour de France. The penultimate stage was a 31 km (19.3 mi) time trial, Tom Dumoulin won the stage, one second ahead of Chris Froome. Thomas survived a scare when his back wheel locked, but completed the time trial successfully, finishing fourteen seconds behind Dumoulin taking a lead of 1 min 51 s into the final stage. He held the lead all the way to Paris to become only the third ever British cyclist to win the Tour de France.
