Geraint Thomas crowned Wales Sports Personality of the Year
Geraint Thomas was crowned Welsh Sports Personality of the Year on Tuesday night, collecting the prize for a second time after his victory in 2014.
Thomas became the first Welshman – and the third Briton – to win the Tour de France in July, making him pretty much a shoo-in for the award.
In the public vote, he beat Mark Williams, who won the World Snooker Championship, and Laura Deas, who won the bronze medal in the skeleton at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
"It's massive, it's something I always grew up watching when I was younger," Thomas said on BBC Sport Wales.
"Just to be nominated shows you've done something special in that year, so to win it and have everyone vote for me is really nice, and it's a lovely way to finish off the year."
Thomas last won the award in 2014 after winning the Commonwealth Games road race for Wales in Glasgow. This year he also won the Critérium du Dauphiné.
