Tissot Annual Sports Review 2018: Looking back at the best sporting action of the year

#4 Cycling - Geraint Thomas

Tissot T-Race Cycling

Associated with the Tour de France for a long time now, Tissot's special watch to commemorate the occasion reflects the values and systems in place for the Tour de France to carry on smoothly.

The T-Race Cycling is a watch that has been designed based on the Tour and so has a black and yellow colour scheme, with the yellow indicating the best finishing cyclist of each leg, as the yellow jersey at the end of each leg is the leader and sets the pace for the rest of the race. The watch also resembles a wheel in terms of its shape and the addition of the Tour de France logo makes the Tissot T-Race Cycling watch very unique.

Geraint Thomas is the new Tour de France champion and his rise to the top has been meteoric. Thomas won the Tour based on his talent and perseverance and the watch signifies the same - continue working and grinding away without worrying about the future, just like Geraint Thomas. He made his Tour de France debut in 2007 but continued to fight and claw his way to become the best he can, eventually winning the Tour this year. He took the lead in stage 11 and maintained his position and hold on the yellow jersey till the end, becoming the first ever Welshman to win the Tour de France.
