Notă biografică
Maurice Burton was born in London to an English mother and a Jamaican father and became the first Black British champion in cycling. His first taste of success came when he won the Junior Sprint national title in 1973. He went on to represent Britain at the 1974 Commonwealth Games, but then moved to Ghent, Belgium in 1977 to escape the racism he was experiencing. Burton rode 56 professional six-day events, and retired from competitive cycling after a serious racing accident at the Six Days of Buenos Aires in 1984.Paul Jones is an occasional racing cyclist and a celebrated cycling writer. He appeared in the same race as Sir Bradley Wiggins, Geraint Thomas and David Millar in the 2014 National Time Trial Championships, once scraped a 49-minute '25' and has won a couple of hill climbs and time trials in the South West of England. His highly praised books include A Corinthian Endeavour and End to End.
