From the Archives - Barry Hoban: My First Tour


In April this year, the world of cycling lost a giant and the Cycling Legends family lost an uncle, a friend and an inspiration when legendary British racer Barry Hoban passed away at the age of 85.


Barry rode no fewer than 12 Tours de France between 1964 and 1978. He would go on to win 8 stages along the way, setting a British record that would stand until Mark Cavendish surpassed that total in 2009


In 2022 Chris Sidwells sat down with Barry to record a series of chats about his first experiences of riding cycling’s iconic races.


In this episode Barry talks to Chris about riding his first Tour de France, in support of no lesser name than the great Raymond Poulidor in 1964. That year’s race would be eventful for both riders, but I’ll let Barry tell you about that.


So enjoy the chat. Vive le Tour and vas y Barry!

Chris, David and Gary reconvene to find at least something bike-related in the bleak off-season. Is Tom Pidcock half as good as he thinks he is?
