G is so down to earth and gives it 100%.

[flurblewibble]

Wow - G is the man - what a brilliant reply. Love it 👍👍

[markstone]

Says a little but means so much more. Totally professional answer.

[mmmbetter]

Geraint Thomas is a chap and honestly I hope he pulls it off. Roglic has yet to make a move though, don't count him out

[bensutton]

G is a decent humble man, if you were lit of your tits you never noticed the rain.

[jonathanwallis]

😂 perfect response, didn’t think twice, deadpan delivery. Nice one mate.

[Pratalax]

It's a good thing they didn't let him hold that mic cause it'd be on the floor right now.

[marcusaurelius]

The kind of answers you wish you had in mind during the argument

[FS-flash]

That was a complete burn, well spoken!

[abdul-kabiralegbe]

I love the way he slowly rode away so calmly the sound of his bike was audible after dropping the bombshell of a reply.

[roelanddeconinck]

Let them substance abuse guys shut it.

The true is that a lot of riders in the 80s and 90s got injured and/or died due to riding without considering safety conditions 1st.
A lot of "experts" here say something like "it´s not that hard to ride in the rain", one thing is to ride with friends in a small group, another very different is going full speed in a big peloton, the accidents in a Paris-Robiuax is a good example, no one wants to miss one of the favorites due to an stupid weather related accident.
