Unfortunately, Brian Robinson died in October 2022. Was pioneer for Brian ‘British Legion’ A professional cyclist watching him in the English canal to try it in the continental peloton. Brian stood in 1957 in the 3rd step of Milan-Sanremo, spoke to Brian on Ed Hood ‘Classic’.
Two years after the destructive shot in January, we lost our friend and colleague Ed Hud. We will never forget a relationship with Ed and his knowledge, cycling worlds, writing and sports. Ed Pez wrote thousands of surprising articles, so we will pay respect ‘Blackberry King’ with the reorganization of his great work.
And I have a great thanks to everyone who worked on ED ‘Me Foundation Fund’. Made a difference in the last two years.

“If he had been poggio then they wouldn’t see me until it ended!” Thus, in 1957, Brian Robinson became the first English speaker in Primavera’s chair. However, for the bike policy of time, Robinson can predict Tom Simpson as the first English to win the legendary competition, but let’s return to ’57 and hear from Brian.
Poblet never walked for St. Rafael
“Although I was 27 years old, although there were various cycling sponsors, I was a good exercise for my career. I think I was second in a stage, and I am in a scene. Before the beginning, our manager, Spain Sprinterin, which is far from the team Miguel said he closed his Pobass – We need to help our jobbery; even a twins were on the bike. ”
Robinson left, Simpson right
I asked whose prescribed team leader for the race: “The delegation was not built, it was one of the best in the day, and it was a classic person. I was a classic person, but the parcours were very similar to the Poggio later.”
“I attacked Kapo Berta (one of the coastal climbs that helped the last result. I was clean and heard of the shock to wait for me, Fred De Bruyne, who won me in 1956, Fred de Bruyne, and Liège-Bastogne-Liège, Paris-Bastogne-Liège, Paris-Roubaix and Paris-Tours, Paris-Tours and Paris tours toured). “
2nd, Fred de Bruyne
“I was a friend and asked how to play the sprinny; He said that he was in charge. He won shock, and De Bruyne wandered me, so I was not dissatisfied.”
Poblet, De Bruyne and Robinson
I asked if there was no regrets, of course, he sounded to make the leg better; “Sometimes I think I should play my cards instead of playing for someone else. If you were definitely cleaned, and if he was not able to return, talks did not come back to the shobese, so I had to go back to anything!”

POBLET – the first day specialist of Spain
I asked about the bikes of the day; “My bike was 28 pounds – I would like to be a bike, I would like to return, 46/52. Team tires I was only an anquetile 53 rings. I was gathered for the special competitions. “
Podium for Poblet
I thought this great day was a souvenir. “No, unfortunately I didn’t get tired of keeping the trophies and mementos back.” And I used to meet with Brian in the morning, did he work three hours on a bike? Sixty plus and he still converts those pedals; It’s just a shame that there is no poggio in 1957.
