Trevor Hughes (Tour of Britain)
Trevor Hughes, a stalwart of the British cycling scene, has died after suffering a heart attack.
Bedfordshire Road Cycling Club (BRCC) posted an obituary yesterday saying Trevor had passed away after suffering a heart attack on April 16 and that they would post details of the funeral as soon as they knew the details.
Tributes have been paid to the man who was Chief Judge for the Tour of Britain for many years, as well as for the London 2012 Olympic Games' road cycling events.
The Tour of Britain posted: "We are tonight mourning the loss of Trevor Hughes. He was an integral part of the British cycling scene for many years, and an invaluable member of the Tour of Britain, the Womens' Tour and Tour Series officiating teams. Rest in peace, Trevor."
Former President of the UCI Brian Cookson added: "Sad news indeed. One of the really nice guys and a great worker for the sport. Condolences to his family and friends."
Retired British cyclist Dean Downing said: "Such sad news...so many great chats over the years with Trevor...he will be missed..."
"Trevor also supported many grass roots cycling events and always had valuable words of advice for those coming into the sport," BRCC said.

Jonny was Cycling Weekly's Weekend Editor until 2022.
I like writing offbeat features and eating too much bread when working out on the road at bike races.
Before joining Cycling Weekly I worked at The Tab and I've also written for Vice, Time Out, and worked freelance for The Telegraph (I know, but I needed the money at the time so let me live).
I also worked for ITV Cycling between 2011-2018 on their Tour de France and Vuelta a España coverage. Sometimes I'd be helping the producers make the programme and other times I'd be getting the lunches. Just in case you were wondering - Phil Liggett and Paul Sherwen had the same ham sandwich every day, it was great.
