OK, here goes. The Tour de France. Honestly, watching it on TV when I was a kid, it felt like something that happened in a different universe. I dreamt of racing it, of winning it, but I never for a second thought I would. Kids from Cardiff don't ride the Tour.

Not a bad start 🇪🇺💪⛳️

I don’t really have any words right now. But, if you were in Cardiff today… Cheers 🍾❤️

After 13 years… last massage from Marko. Sad times 🥺

Back home 😎 See you all on the Tumble 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Like your carpets 👍 My @LloydsBank day in the life. Bit different to the norm 😎 #ThereAtEveryStage #LloydsTourofBritain

This little dude made G a quality sign… but definitely didn’t want it signed. We respect it. He’s our Lloyds Upstaged fan of the day from @TourofBritain 💫🇬🇧

Bring G some Welsh cakes and you’ll always be in his good books. Yesterday’s Lloyds Upstaged winner is young fan Henry - who couldn’t make it to the race, but made sure his Dad got G a gift anyway. That’s commitment 👌🇬🇧 #LloydsTourofBritain

Hoping we get to see some ice lolly weather at least once during @TourofBritain 🤣 Might hand a few more out 👀🍦 #LloydsTourofBritain

Day two 🇬🇧👌🎙️ @TourofBritain

Magic first day at @TourofBritain. Massive thanks to everyone for coming out 👌 Let’s see what tomorrow brings 🇬🇧

Last ever training session. Completed it mate 👌 Tour of Britain, I’m coming 🇬🇧

I couldn’t finish my career without a proper goodbye could I? Excited to announce our plans for an event at Cardiff Castle after the final Tour of Britain stage on Sunday 7th September. The details are being kept a surprise from me for now… but I’m told it’s going to be a lot of

Maybe I can go into kit design when I retire? 👀🤣 Delighted to reveal my final @INEOSGrenadiers kit for the Tour of Britain. It’s Welsh red, with the Welsh dragon, Alpe d’Huez man, & the best bit: Macs’ drawing. Me and the boys will be wearing it all next week. Can’t wait 🖊️ 👌

Still a bike rider... just 👌 Enjoying Deutschland Tour with the boys 🇩🇪

We always love hearing from G’s fans 👌 Cheers @BenStiller 🍹

@INEOSGrenadiers It feels very weird to think I'll never race another Tour but I'm so proud to have done it 14 times. And, it turns out, kids from Cardiff do ride the Tour. Merci 🇫🇷🫳🎤
