Meet The Tour 21 Alumni

David Stoyle

Cycling has always been part of my life, and I’ve long followed the Tour and admired those taking on incredible challenges. In December last year, during routine blood tests ahead of a planned hip replacement, I was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukaemia. The delayed hip replacement has since been a success, and I saw The Tour 21 2026 as the perfect opportunity to combine my passion for cycling with supporting Cure Leukaemia. It’s a chance to contribute to vital research and treatment development, and to raise awareness of blood cancer while taking on a significant physical challenge.
