Oscar Onley: The cycling Scot among the Tour de France elite

“I first saw his climbing ability, which is now phenomenal, on one of the confined club runs – the Redpath climb, also known as the Ripper; horrible, horrific, just suffering from the get-go,” he said.

“But Oscar loved that challenge and he just flew up there. He was just so determined.

“That was probably when I realised there was something special there.”

Onley, a former Broomlands Primary, Longridge and Kelso High pupil, is only the second racer from the Borders to compete in the Tour, after Hawick’s Ken Laidlaw in 1961.

Other Scots to have taken part include Ian Steel, John Kennedy, Robert Millar – now Philippa York – and David Millar.
