Desperately sad news.
Quite an influential figure here in Manchester as he succesfully campaigned for the velodrome to be the UK centre for cycling.
He insisted that the velodrome should be available to anyone with any bike on certain mornings to make it more inclusive.
I've never heard anyone say a bad word about him which is unusual for anyone who reached the pinnacle in such a competitive and adreline fueled sport.
Very sad to hear this news, a double blow as well with the news of his wife’s ill health. I hope they have a good circle of family and friends who will be able to lend support.
How odd it is that a sportsman who keeps in incredible shape and fitness can fall to this horrible disease when I’ve know people who have never exercised and lived on the indulgent side of life who carry on and on…
There doesn’t seem to be a sure fire way to longevity, just the time god grants us here on earth.
Desperately sad.
I met him at an event once. Seemed such a nice guy and has so much good to give the world.

I’d say it’s the time genetics grants us on earth more than anything else…..
It is deeply saddening to hear this news. Chris always stood out as a consummate professional, highly knowledgeable, incredibly likable, and remarkably humble, despite his numerous sporting accomplishments.
Very sad to hear. A true British and global sporting icon and he always seemed such a nice man. Cancer is just horrible. Did he miss some early warning signs or is simply that his time is up early diagnosis or not.
Chris Hoy Legend 🏴 I'm Welsh but 🏴 one of Scotland's and Britain's greatest ever athletes.
Gutted for his children, his family, and for him.
