Team Wales select cycling gold medallist Geraint Thomas to be their flagbearer at the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow.

Cyclist Geraint Thomas will be the flagbearer for Wales in the closing ceremony at the Commonwealth Games.

The news comes following the 28-year-old's gold in the men's road race in Glasgow, as he secured his second medal of the Games.

He said in a statement: "It will be an honour to carry the flag at the close of the Commonwealth Games. I am a proud Welshman, I don't get to wear the Welsh jersey that often so to carry the flag tonight as well will be a proud moment for me and my family."

Team Wales chef de mission, Brian Davies added: "We are delighted to announce Geraint Thomas as our Team Wales flag bearer for the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

"Geraint is an influential figure in the sporting world and his many achievements, including his Olympic gold and Tour de France victory, make him the perfect choice to lead Team Wales out for the last time in Glasgow."

Gymnast Frankie Jones carried the flag for Wales in the opening ceremony two weeks ago.
