How Brownlee brothers are riding to rescue of tea shops and cafes – The Yorkshire Post says
Down-to-earth born winners who love their county, their humanity – and willingness to help others – came to the fore in 2016 when Alistair, the double Olympic champion, virtually carried his ailing brother over the line in a selfless act of sportsmanship which won the hearts of the world.
How fitting, given the power and reach of their respective social media feeds to promote Yorkshire,, that the brothers are now teaming up to launch a new campaign to support the county’s cafes, and similar ventures, in need of a Brownlee-like lift following the lockdown.

It’s certain to be another winner – just like the brilliant Brownlees.
