Geraint Thomas completed his 36-hour challenge to raise funds for NHS Charities Together - a national membership organisation which represents 140 member charities - who are currently working with the NHS on a COVID-19 appeal.

The former Tour de France winner rode his turbo trainer in his garage in Wales for three consecutive days this weekend, asking fans to join him in the Zwift virtual riding world.

Cyclingnews is the world's leader in English-language coverage of professional cycling. Started in 1995 by University of Newcastle professor Bill Mitchell, the site was one of the first to provide breaking news and results over the internet in English. The site was purchased by Knapp Communications in 1999, and owner Gerard Knapp built it into the definitive voice of pro cycling. Since then, major publishing house Future PLC has owned the site and expanded it to include top features, news, results, photos and tech reporting. The site continues to be the most comprehensive and authoritative English voice in professional cycling.
