He also promoted the national pro championships, race-directed the Giro de Capo and was the founder of the then Hyper to Hyper, currently still running as the Fast One.
“Our most sincere condolences are extended to the Roberts family on the sad loss of Tony,” said former professional and cycling commentator Johnny Koen.
“He was handy enough as a cyclist as well, representing South Africa on several occasions as a vet.
“Long may the legend of Tony Roberts continue.”
