From the Archives - Barry Hoban: My First Worlds

Cycling Legends Podcast ·

2025/06/09

In April this year, legendary British racer Barry Hoban passed away at the age of 85. The world of cycling lost a giant and the Cycling Legends family lost an uncle, a friend and an inspiration.During his career Barry won 8 stages of the Tour de France - a British record that stood from 1975 until the arrival or a certain Mark Cavendish 2 decades later. He also won 2 stages of the Vuelta a Espana and remains - in 2025 - the only British winner of the Gent Wevelgem.In 2022 Chris Sidwells sat down

Still trying to make sense of the Giro d’Italia, the team offer their hot takes on what went wrong and what went right on the roads from Tirana to Rome. Gary is unwittingly using the wrong microphone (again - sorry!) but just about manages to tout Marlen Reusser as the wildcard in the TdFF pack, Chris basks in the glow of deservedly excellent book reviews and David suggests a novel approach to dealing with concussion in grand tours that may not be as crazy as you think.Photo: Cafe Raids were a

“What would Barry do?” is our new mantra at Feed Zone Towers, although for starters he’d probably have remembered Lorena Wiebes’ name and who wrote ‘Jerusalem’. In between bouts of amnesia, we look back at an intriguing first week of the Giro d’Italia, pick out highlights from the Vuelta Feminina and Itzulia Women and fly off at tangents along the way. Buckle up! Photo: Alfredo Binda stops at the Foligno check point during stage 8 of the 1928 Giro d’Italia, a trifling 323km affair from Rome to

Cycling Legends Podcast ·

2025/05/12

In our latest interview show, Chris talks to a young entrepreneur called Hamish Graham. Hamish has taken over the reins of, not just a cycling holiday company, but the first ever cycling holiday company. The business that in the 1960s founded Majorca as a cycling holiday destination and spawned a tourist industry. That earned its creator, Yorkshireman Doug Petty the Majorcan equivalent of a knighthood.The business is now called Sixty/8 (sixty8.cc), and Hamish has made it his own, offering packages

How was your Spring then? Any better than Tadej’s? Worse than Lotte’s? Before cycling gets Grand Tour Fever we look back over the Classics of 2025 and ponder whether things really are as bad (or as good) as they seem for the Usual Suspects. Plus, we ask whether One Cycling actually is necessarily an evil and generally shoot the breeze about all things cycling. (Actually, more likely just all things.)Photo: Vittorio Adorni, Jacques Anquetil and Felice Gimondi eating spaghetti during the 1966 Giro

Steve Lovelace

2025/04/28

In 1982, Steve Lovelace nearly died while chopping firewood with a friend in a remote field near his home in Wagoner, Oklahoma. Pinned to the ground and crushed by the weight of a tree slab, it took two hours for his friend and a local farmer to extricate him with a chainsaw. When he eventually arrived at hospital, doctors were unsure as to whether he’d live. A little over 3 years later, he became only the second disabled athlete to complete an Olympic-distance triathlon.Today, after series of other
