Great man. I remember doing a training camp in Majorca with him in the 70s when I was a kid & he'd won multiple tdf stages. He was happy to chat & pass on advice. I still think every time I go up a long climb....'don't grip the bars too tightly' - Barry Hoban says so.
I like and respect this man, cycling has some of the best people in it on the planet :)

Amazing! I heard that Sa Calobra was only a gravel track back then.

Congratulations Barry - a true gent!
Met Barry at an evening with event in Nottinghamshire some years ago..a true gent 👏
A gent and a legend indeed.
If you listen to the anecdotes and don't feel tingles, you are not a cyclist.
