Do you know this man?

The mystery man of Mont Ventoux (Cycling UK)

Don't worry, if you know this mystery man he hasn't done anything wrong (as far as we know).

The cyclist in question was photographed at the Tom Simpson memorial on Mont Ventoux back in 1985 by a couple who recently rediscovered the picture, having not passed the photo on earlier after losing his address and being unable to contact him.

Hi. I'm Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor. I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.


Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).


I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
