Geraint Thomas OBE named Continental brand ambassador

Continental Tyres has named Geraint Thomas OBE as its new brand ambassador.

Since joining Team Sky in 2010, now Team INEOS, Geraint has ridden on Continental tyres at major cycling events around the world, providing ultimate confidence thanks to Continental’s unique compound technologies.

Tracey Mortimer, Continental Tyres UK and Ireland Marketing Director said: “We are thrilled to be working with Geraint. He is a great role model and his passion to win really resonates with us all here at Continental. We cannot wait to show everyone what we have been working on and we are proud that riding or driving Geraint has total confidence in our tyres.”

On being a brand ambassador for Continental, Geraint Thomas said: “I love Continental, their tyres are amazing and give me complete confidence and exceptional grip when competing. With your tyres being the only thing connecting you with the road, it is important to use the best. As you know cycling is an unpredictable sport but one thing I can rely on is Continental, I’m really looking forward to working with the guys at Continental telling my story and hopefully encouraging the next generation of cyclists.”

In his 12-year career as a professional cyclist, Geraint Thomas OBE has won six world cups and two world championships. Away from the road, Geraint is a double Olympic Champion competing in 2008 and 2012 on the track.

Geraint Thomas also peddled to victory at the 2018 Tour de France, securing the coveted yellow jersey for the first time. Geraint topped off last year by walking away with the BBC sports personality of the year award.
