Yorkshire honours Tour pioneer Robinson

Former professional Brian Robinson, the first British rider to complete the Tour de France back in 1955, has been awarded the C A Rhodes Memorial Award. The award is the premier honour for cyclists from Robinson's home region of Yorkshire in the north of England.

"It's a great honour to receive the C A Rhodes Memorial Award, particularly when you look at some of the names of the others who have won it, including Beryl Burton and Barry Hoban," Robinson told The Huddersfield Daily Examiner.
