If you remember the Eighties, you'll remember Malcolm Elliott. One of Britain's brightest hopes on the Continent, the Yorkshire rider could take on anyone in the world in a bunch sprint (and win – on his day). Beach-blond hair and his trademark sleeveless jerseys made him a bit of a poster boy too.
Elliott famously rode for ANC-Halfords, the first British trade team to ride the Tour de France, in 1987. He was one of four of the team's riders to finish the race too, kicking off a Grand Tour career that peaked two years later with two stage wins and the points jersey at the Vuelta a España.
