**VALE Paul Timbrell @ 3 Oct 2026 - Rest in Peace**
Something of an Aussie pro cyclist who did a great job in the professional second division in Belgium in the 1980’s for the MAVIC Clemenso team. The picture above is from the 1982 Belgian classic (Fleche Wallonne) near Huy. A solid athlete who worked hard, who lived and breathed the sport in Belgium and resided in Brisbane of late. Paul frequented Heffron Park in the early days. Take care Paul.
