Percy Stallard
Percy Thornley Stallard (19 July 1909 – 11 August 2001) was an English racing cyclist who reintroduced massed-start road racing on British roads in the 1940s.
Born in Wolverhampton, at his father's bicycle shop in Broad Street,〔(The Guardian, August 15 2001, William Fotheringham )〕 Stallard became a member of the Wolverhampton Wheelers Cycling club and a keen competitor in cycle races, competing for Great Britain in international races during the 1930s, including three consecutive world championships (1933–1935).〔(Wolverhampton Local History )〕 He was also a successful cycling coach and team captain.
==Racing career==
Percy Stallard joined Wolverhampton Wheelers and rode his first race on 8 May 1927, when he was 17.〔Stallard's papers, University of Warwick, Coventry (www.wolverhampton.gov.uk/archives)〕 The competition was a 10-mile individual time trial on a course described as "the Cannock road". By the end of the season he progressed to riding 50-mile (80 km) events and the following year to a 12-hour endurance race
He rode only time-trials until 1932, when his papers suggest he may have ridden in local grass-track meetings or perhaps on a hard velodrome. He could also have tried cyclo-cross because that year he also took part in a race between cyclists and runners, traditionally held on cross-country courses. Track races became more common from 1933.
