Fans 'in floods of tears' as Sir Chris Hoy gives rousing speech at BBC SPOTY despite brave cancer battle "As my team mate for the week, Chris Harris said, you never turn down the chance to drive at LeMans. "Speaking of Chris Harris, it was a blast to hang out, talk cars and learn from him. "What a job he did in Race 2, P12 from 31st on the grid, making 11 places in lap one amidst the carnage and bringing the Tour de 4 liveried #77 home in style! "I managed P20 from the same grid position in race 1, very happy to have had some awesome battles throughout the 45-minute race and get a proper hit out after frustrations in qualifying. I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer almost two years ago now, and it shocked me, it rocked my world." Sir Chris Hoy "Massive thanks to Academy Motorsport team for all their hard work and support, what a great bunch they are. "And finally, best of luck to all the drivers in the 24 heures du mans, I wish you a safe and successful race." Hoy will attempt to raise £1million for UK cancer charities with a charity bike ride in September. He said: "The bike ride is to try and get as many people together as possible. "Not just people suffering with cancer but anybody. "To show we can keep on living, make the most of every day and live in the present, because that's all any of us have."
