There will be a familiar splash of black-and-white chequers at this year’s Simpson Retro Weekend, and perhaps more of it than usual.

This photograph from the 2023 event shows Joanne Simpson, Tom Simpson’s daughter, in pink in the Peugeot team car belonging to long-time Simpson Retro supporter Richard Disbrow, surrounded by riders wearing replicas of the famous Peugeot team kit that Tom wore to some of his greatest victories.

We’re delighted to announce that Joanne will be back with us this year, and so will Richard’s wonderful Peugeot team car, but this time we want to go one step further.

If you already have a ticket for the Simpson Retro Ride, or are going to buy one, and intend to ride a Peugeot bike and have Peugeot kit, we’d love to hear from you. Our plan is to bring the Peugeot riders together at the start of the Retro Ride and send them away first as a group, creating our own little recreation of one of cycling’s most distinctive teams.

But with one step more…

Richard’s wife Ruth Disbrow has very kindly agreed to drive the team car behind the Peugeot group, giving riders and spectators a sight that could have come straight from the professional peloton of the 1960s.

Tom joined Peugeot in 1963 and remained with the French team for 5 seasons, including the extraordinary year of 1965 when he became Britain’s first men’s professional road race world champion and won Il Lombardia. So the white Peugeot jersey, its black chequerboard band and Michelin lettering became inseparable from some of the defining images of his career.

So, if you’ve got the bike, you’ve got the kit and you’re riding the Retro, let us know. We’d like as many Peugeots as possible lined up together to make this one of the sights of the weekend. Contact us on [email protected] and just head your email ‘Peugeot Team Car’ giving your name a ride number.

One important caveat! We may be recreating the look and atmosphere of professional cycling’s golden age, but no pacing behind the team car, and no sticky bottles!

Some traditions are best left in the past.
