The multiple British gold medal winner Sir Chris Hoy has been diagnosed with cancer. He is currently undergoing treatment and chemotherapy, as reported by Feltet.dk.
Hoy, a legend especially in track cycling for the former Team Sky , was shocked himself, as no symptoms had previously indicated this disease. "I was diagnosed with cancer last year, which was a big shock as I had no symptoms until then," he explained openly in a post on Instagram.
"I am currently undergoing chemotherapy, which fortunately is going very well. I would like to say a big thank you to all the medical professionals," added Hoy. Nevertheless, he wants to keep the progress of his treatment hidden from the public, especially with regard to his family.
Sir Chris Hoy was awarded a knighthood of Great Britain in 2009, also because he achieved 3 Olympic gold medals and 11 world championship gold medals during his active time as a cyclist, as well as many other awards.

- It's not a big blow for Pogacar. Today, Pogacar relies on a close, increasingly Slovenian circle of experts. Among them, the central figure is his longtime friend Ziga Jerman, who took on the role of masseur in 2025. Jerman has known Pogačar since before his global fame, when they cycled together at the Ljubljana club Rog, so Elguezabal’s departure does not pose a threat for Pogi but rather marks the end of a very successful chapter. UAE will have to fill the gap in its professional staff, but for Pogi, this departure will not play an important role.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
- OK, enough of this BS. No one went to college or university from kindergarten. First, Remco must graduate from high school with excellent results to meet with the professor Pogacar in university and to be in same room with him. But you see, Pogi the Great also has a PhD (doctorate in cycling). In 2026, I want to see that success from Remco in high school, because I haven't seen it in these 7 years.NikkoNicco04-12-2025
