The moment Geraint Thomas all but secured Tour de France victory
Commentary of the moment Geraint Thomas all but clinched his first-ever Tour de France title from Tom Fordyce, Rob Hayles and Gareth Rhys Owen.
The Welshman maintained his race lead on the penultimate stage of the race - a 31km time trial.
He finished third behind Tom Dumoulin but still leads the Dutchman by one minute, 51 seconds.
Tour convention dictates that the race leader is never challenged on the final stage, so Thomas only needs to reach the finish in Paris on Sunday to win.
