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.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
