Williams is hoping to round off the season by further enhancing his reputation at the World Championship road race in Switzerland at the end of the month, but first he is heading to Canada for GP Montreal and GP Quebec, two World Tour one-day classics.

“They’ll be on Friday and Sunday this week, so hopefully I’ll be good there,” Williams told Radio Wales Breakfast.

“They’re well suited to me – punchy, hard races – so if I bring the Tour of Britain legs to those races hopefully I should be good.

“And then a big target for me a couple of weeks later will be the World Championships in Zurich.”

After losing 18 months to knee problems in the early years of his professional career, Williams first notable success came in 2021, winning a stage and the overall at the six-day Cro Race.

The following year brought victory on the opening day at the Tour de Suisse, while 2023 saw him take a stage and overall victory in the Arctic Race of Norway.

There is no doubt though that 2024 is his best season by far and Williams has a simple explanation.

“I think the consistency of training and also the consistency of my race programme,” he said.

“I’ve been very healthy this year, injury free – touch wood that stays the same – but I just think that having set goals out from early winter last year to manage my goals and to set expectations and put myself in the best environment to actually go for them, I think that’s been a major factor.”

And Williams, who is now signed with Israel-Premier Tech until 2028, is confident there is plenty more success to come.

“I think I’m actually in a situation and a place now where I can go to these global events and try and actually compete for the win because [of] how good I’ve prepared.

“I think as well, as athletes we continue to grow and I’m 28 now. I feel like I’m coming to a place where I’m reaching my physical peak and hopefully the next few years will be the same.

“It’s been a gradual climb to here and it’s just going to get better I think.”
