London to Bradford 1-day race in 1979, won by Barry Hoban. You learn something every day - thanks to Aaron Bower for the info. Odsal looked much better 46 years ago.

"He took 8 Tour stages wins, a UK record for 34 years, until Mark Cavendish beat it in 2009" @mrendell looks back on the life of Barry Hoban, who died in the 20th of April 2025, at the age of 85.

This is such sad news. Ray was a rugby league man through + through, great company + a thoroughly good bloke.
Sad news Ray French MBE, the former St Helens, Widnes and Great Britain international & for many years the voice of rugby league on the BBC passed away earlier today. Ray, who has been suffering from dementia in recent years, was 85. Thoughts are with Ray’s family 💔
