Tommy Simpson, the iconic British cyclist, is captured in this print as he arrives at Ringway from Belgium in July 1963. Known for his remarkable talent and determination, Simpson was a prominent figure in the world of cycling during the 1960s. His participation in prestigious events like the Tour de France solidified his status as a true sportsman. However, Simpson's career was not without controversy.

This stunning print by Mirrorpix transports us back to a pivotal moment in British sporting history when Tommy Simpson's passion and dedication propelled him towards greatness.
