Barry Hoban, one of British cycling's best, died on Saturday 19 April aged 85.
The Yorkshireman spent 19 years as a professional cyclist in the 1960s and 1970s, mostly riding for Mercier-Hutchinson. Until Mark Cavendish, he was Britain's most successful Tour de France rider, winning eight stages between 1967 and 1975, along with two stages of the Vuelta a España. He remains the only British rider to win Gent-Wevelgem.
