Geraint Thomas saw a training ride cut short on Sunday after his bike was stolen from outside a coffee shop in the south of France.

The Welshman posted a picture on social media as he took a taxi home after his Pinarello Dogma F bike was taken.

“Lovely ride. Lovely coffee stop in Menton Except someone nicked my bike,” Thomas wrote.

“Now in an Uber home. It’s a Dogma F with F12 stickers. Random miss matched wheels and in need of a wash #oneofakind”.

Thomas joked he had also lost irreplaceable training data.
