OBITUARY Richard Moore 1973-2022

Following a short racing career that included representing both Great Britain at the Prudential Tour and Scotland at the 1998 Commonwealth Games, Moore went on to become an influential and much-loved figure within cycling media over the course of the following two and a half decades.

He wrote for numerous publications including Cycling Weekly, CyclingNews, ProCycling, Rouleur, the Guardian, and The Sunday Times, and was also an award-winning author, penning titles on Robert Millar, Sir Chris Hoy, the Tour de France, and athletics.

He was best known for co-founding the incredibly successful The Cycling Podcast in 2013, which announced that he passed away on Monday, 28 March, just a day after covering Ghent-Wevelgem.
