Just heard this on the news. Not a cycling fan but have a lot of admiration for Sir Chris, his attitude, dedication and his achievements. Very sad.

f***ing hell - he's a real-life Superman in every way.

Found this in another article...

"However, after a scan last September showed a tumour in his shoulder, a second scan found the main cancer to be in his prostate – which has since metastasized to Hoy’s shoulder, pelvis, hip, ribs and spine."

Crikey. He’s a true sporting great, a hero and so personable.

Wishing Chris and his loved one some good times in his remaining days.

Awful news. Hoy is one of GB's greatest Olympians, one of Scotland's greatest athletes.

Poor guy and I really feel for his family. Cancer really is a *another c-word* that destroys so many lives.

It truly is.

A few years back, I lost a close friend to a brain tumour. She lived a healthy life, exercised regularly, ate all the right things, didn't drink excessively, and was a picture of health. Then one day, completely out of the blue, she collapsed at home. It was a stage 4 glioblastoma, the most aggressive brain cancer you can get. The tumour was too deep for them to operate, and she passed away about 9 months later.

It brought home to me just how cruel cancer is. It doesn't matter how healthy your lifestyle, what great shape you can be in, if you're on it's list, it'll get you anyway. Just so heartbreaking and upsetting.

I understand Hoy has been given 2-4 years. There just aren't the words.

Terrible news. I really hope he is able to enjoy the time he has left with his loved ones. Remarkable achievements in his career. Cancer is evil.

Very sad news.

I was lucky enough to be in the velodrome to see one of his Olympic gold medal rides, in the Team Sprint at London 2012 - one of my absolute favourite live sport memories.

Wishing him and his family nothing but the best for as long as they have together.

Brutal. This news actually rocked me when I read it. Just a few years ago he seemed to be superman, I can't imagine what his family went through when they found out.
