Tom Simpson was one of the largest cyclists in England, the possibility and talent was a trailblazer who dragged the head of the sport in the 1960s. The first British winner of the first English winner of the British in the UK, Flanders and Milan-San Remo conquered the first British, Simpson’s career was strange and flashlight. 1967 His life and tragic death in Mont Ventoux during Tour de France remains one of the most attractive stories of bicycles. In Bike Legends 01: Tom SimpsonThe author suggests that Chris Sidwells-Simpson’s brotherhood – a deeper and carefully investigated biography by mixing his brother – deep family concepts. This book not only seizes the high and low parts of the Simpson career, but also gives a rare idea to the man behind the legend.
It has never been easier to win a living as a professional bike racer, but today’s science-based exercises, nutrition, feather equipment, aero dresses and at least world-level this is not always the case. Tom Simpson (Milan-San Remo was one of the largest drivers) of England, and the lack of modern accumulations and, of course, in 1967 in 1967 in 1967 in the lands of Bald Ventoux in 1967, there was no ambition in front of any timeless death.
“Tom Simpson” The first volume of a new number of books, “Bike legends” English author Chris Sidwells written by Chris Sidwells, which is 20 articles and 20 articles on his behalf cycling. The Simpson’s son, in fact, is the son of the Simpson, when the book is unusual, Sidwells, the writer is 11 years old. Thus, in addition to a comprehensive appearance as a racer in the Simpson career, we think like a person, as a husband and father.
In 1937, Durham Durham was not particularly good in the city of Durham in the northeastern England, but when he saw a few successes for the race, he had a short pace for the race, and he had a special speed, and showed a special word on the road. The 18-year-old team came out of the country for the first time for Russia for some measures. From the short term England Olympic team with Melbourne and 1956 games, the house of the Following the British Tracking team received a bronze medal, although Simpson was a good heritage, he lowered the team. Nevertheless, he quickly learned and dominated the track racing in England by 1958. However, he had ambitions for greater things, and in 1959, Raphaël Géminiani’s Saint-Raphaël was professionally competed in Europe. In the first year, Zaandvoort won two stages of Tour De L’Ouest, which is a very reliable fourth place in the world championships.
As a rider, the trajectory turned upside down for the next few years. Although there is a handful of English driver in Peloton, it would be a struggle for a young English language to adapt to a very different way of life, continuous travel, foreign languages ​​and playing pressure. The race season was long and the ability to appear in large competitions, primarily, primarily, in other countries, other countries, including local criteria competitions in other countries, and in the winter. The section of the book, which explains Simpson’s rapid rise in the closed society of six-day specialists, is particularly interesting.
Simpson realized how he would sell himself in the market, it is likely that it is as easy as a natural fun, with a great sense of humor. The press was pleased to recognize it as a British grooms, as a bowler hat and bent and all the accounts are famous for his wife.
1961-ci ildə Simpson ilk (və yalnız bu günə qədər yalnız Flanders turunun qalibi və növbəti il ​​​​Paris-də ikinci oldu. Sonra 1963-cü ildə Simpson qüdrətli Peugeot-BP-Michelin komandasına qatıldı və onun yanında ən yaxşı nəticələrinə nail olmaq idi. Bunlara 1964-cü ildə, 1964-cü ildə, 1965-ci ildə və 1965-ci ildə Tur-San Remo-da, In 1965 and the victory in Giro di Lombardy, the world championship and Rainbow Jersey had to win.
However, the consequences of Simpson were not enough to provide passion, albeit impressive. Both the positive elements of the personality, Simpson can be a bit figured. The ski accident prevented him in the form of a rainbow in 1966 and conducted its consequences to the consequences of his consequences. Now he wanted to win the most about 30 years and wanted to earn more than ever, and only in 1966, only Eddy Merckx and the new young team friends will be your new young team.
The Simpson began in 1967, the winner of the winner in the beautiful and stage Vuela in Paris. Tour de France worked with national teams at that time, and Simpson himself headed the staff of his friends. In the General Classification of the Stage 12, the tour leader, which continues to win the same year, ranked 7th place for more than 8 minutes of Roger Pingeon. Tom Simpson had to be the end of the race because he was collapsed and died in a blistering heat in Montoox.
The cause of his death is discussed, but the Coroner’s report is not available (notes in France after a certain period of time). The arguments of amphetamines and alcohol in the blood were found, but the cause of death was described as “heart failure because of lack of depletion.” This is the test side of the story written by many. Today, many cyclists were reflected in a difficult transition from Rentoux, the memory of Rentoux, in memory of Simpson, under the top.
The thing that distinguishes this book is a personal and clear sympathy that Simpson’s story is awakened. Sidwells met with many people who know Simpson as both athletes and a family man. Simpson’s wife Helen, in 1969, Helen’s Helen married Simpson with a teammate Barry Hoban, the death of his fathers and his inheritance also had an interview with Simpson’s daughters.
“Tom Simpson” It is a beautiful biography of someone who is proud of his signs and never do little from all of it. First, the book published in 2018 was expelled to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the World Cup. Many photos give the real meaning of the time at the top of Simpson’s bike game, a different game from today, but maybe not worlds.
