Darn, he was Yorkshire born and died at 29.  Back to the drawing board!  lol.

Ah! maybe I can suggest Tom Simpson, British Road Racing Cyclist!

(Found by putting "granite memorial to cyclist" in google, how about that, lol) Not a happy story concerning his death though!

Yes Tommy Simpson is correct, although I did say he was born in the North East, not Yorkshire. Moved to Harworth near Nottingham when he was very young, But as you infer yet another tragic waste of life due to drugs. Died on the 1967 Tour de France on Mont Ventoux.

Over to you, and i really ought to get back to work, fortunately it's reasonbly quiet at the moment
