After a strong season with a win at the E3 Harelbecke and at the Volta ao Algarve, Geraint Thomas reviews his season in an interview for Sky Sports News HQ. The Team Sky rider explained that the Tour de France will be his main goal in the coming years.

"The Tour is going to be my main goal. I want to go there as a quality back-up guy for Chris - still go there and support him 100 per cent but think about myself a bit more in that first half of the race", he told. "This year I didn't think about myself once and gave loads all the way through and ended up blowing up with three days to go, so hopefully I can make it through the whole Tour."

Chris Froome will try to win the Tour de France for the third time. He will have a strong team with him, notably with Geraint Thomas. "If I can be top 10 or top five next season while still doing my job for Chris, that would be awesome, because it's still all about winning the Tour."

"Sky at the moment is the best place for me to learn how to lead the team. There is still a hell of a lot to learn."

In 2016, the Tour de France will not be the only objective of the season. "The last two Olympics, I have been on the track in the team pursuit and, luckily enough, we won, which was awesome. This year I want to try to ride the road race and the time trial.  I definitely want to be there, and to make it three golds would be nice", he added. "My season will be based around the Tour, and due to that, I'm going to be in the shape of my life, hopefully, and then the Olympics is two weeks after, so you stay focused, stay on it, recover, go to Rio and try to finish off a great five weeks."
