what a great story. from the classic lightweights link provided by the seller of the jim soens bicycle.
Paul Gittens remembers this, one of the last shots taken of Tommy Simpson racing in the UK at the New Brighton Promenade Criteriums in 1967 (June?). The continental pros came over for this and the Vaux GP next day but their plane was late and their bikes got lost so Tommy borrowed a Team Peugeot look-a-like from a young lad in the crowd and rode that. As luck would have it it was a Tommy Soens, clearly seen in the photo taken from the February 1968 'Sporting Cyclist'.
just thought i'd share it with you. have a good week y'all.
