Tributes have poured in from across the British cycling landscape for Larry Hickmott, a journalist who dedicated much of his career to covering British racing and died at the age of 65 on Friday.

Hickmott was born in Australia, near Perth, but moved to the UK in the 1990s, racing on the local circuits before starting to report on the races themselves.
