We’re sad to hear the news that cycling icon Raymond Poulidor passed away. We wish his family a lot of strength in this difficult time.

Raymond lived not too far from us out here in France and on a couple of occasions I took the opportunity to have a chat with him when he was at events in the area.

He was generous with his time and always great with people who wanted to talk to him about his past exploits. He was always happy to sign the books and the pictures I had so we could display them at Les Stables. A true gentleman.

Undoubtedly one of the best cyclists the world has ever seen

Thanks for all the memories
