Geraint Thomas has been wearing the same model of glasses, Completely discontinued today, for many years. Oakley has accompanied the Ineos team (formerly Sky) for 12 years, but just as the sport has evolved, so has the aesthetic. However, Thomas has remained faithful to this model of glasses, even after the company stopped selling them to the public a few years ago.
Not only for convenience, but also by superstition, the british continues to carry this model of glasses that came on the market more than a decade ago. With this model of glasses, Thomas proclaimed himself Tour de France champion. Although, he has been seen with some other model, in the big events he always resorts to the Oakley Jawbone, with the white as the main frame.
Recently, the World Tour Ineos Grenadiers team has announced SunGod as a new sponsor, which leads to a change in the traditional glasses that so characterize Geraint Thomas. On his Twitter account, the Briton has left a message about this new change and welcoming the new sponsor: “Well…it will take some getting used to.”
With a Tour de France, a Criterium Dauphiné, a Tour de Romandie, a Paris-Nice or a Tour of Switzerland, Thomas leaves behind his era of Oakley glasses that have given so much talk for almost more than a decade.
