Sean Kelly here.
I’m not a man for social media but have come on to this website to pay tribute to a legend of cycling. I have been privileged to cycle with many greats, our own Stephen Roche, Laurent Fignon, Bernard Hinault, Roger De Vlaeminck, Greg Lemond, Lance Armstrong, Claude Criquielion and Adri van der Poel to name but a few. The great Eddy Merckx was before my time.
But one man stands head and shoulders in any peloton, Liam Egan or Beasty as he goes by in many parts. Considering he started serious cycling 20 years ago at the age of 64 it is quite amazing the victories he has garnered both in One Day Classics and the Grand Tours. 3 Paris-Nice, 4 Liège–Bastogne–Liège, 2 Rainbow Jerseys, 3 Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, 2 Tour de Suisse, 3 Tour de France and last year, at the age of 83 he won his first Vuelta a España
He cycled and came 3rd in Tour of Flanders in 2020 while moding this very site on his laptop when cycling. He has broken all his vertebrae bar 2, fractured his cranium 7 times, broken one leg 11 times and the other twice, fractured both kneecaps, had 67 broken collar bones and his coccyx has never been right since a collision with a cow descending Mount Ventoux in 2013.
I’m lost for words.. Magnifique, and as the French would say Beasty.
Allez Courage!!
