British Cycling Hall of Fame nominees inducted at Gala Dinner

British Cycling Hall of Fame, Gala Dinner 2010

Cycling legends from the past 50 years of the sport were officially inducted into British Cycling's Hall of Fame on Saturday night in Manchester during the organisation's 50th anniversary Gala Dinner.

50 riders, organisers and other leading lights in the world of cycling were included in the ceremony.

Among those inducted were seven-time World Champion Beryl Burton, eight times Tour de France stage winner Barry Hoban and Tom Simpson who died during the 1967 Tour de France while climbing Mont Ventoux.

Those inductees present at the dinner included Chris Boardman, Peter King, Peter Keen, Craig MacLean, Paul Manning, Eileen Grey, Tim Gould and Caroline Alexander.

Sky news presenter Dermot Murnaghan hosted the evening in front of an audience of 700 at Manchester Central.

The Hall of Fame was conceived by British Cycling to celebrate its 50th anniversary. The public were invited to make nominations from all factes of the sport, and a judging panel then selected the final 50. More names will be added in future years.
