I think he was much loved BITD for what he did in the early Grundigs and in the US and I'm sure he still gets the knowing nods at cx and xc races from anyone older than 40 just because of what he's achieved
BITD he was the best on the international stage along with David Baker so Peugeot really had the dream team back then with Baker better suited to the flatter faster courses and Tim always loved the courses in the Alps or North America.
