Lea Davison<\/a> and many others.<\/p>\nBishop settled in Vermont and became a photographer and educator, teaching at Harwood Union High School and later at Hanover High School in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
He died June 2 at his home in New Hampshire following a battle with stomach cancer. Bishop is survived by his wife and two children.<\/p>\n
Bishop remained positive through treatments<\/p>\n
In a June 2025 Facebook post, Bishop revealed he had been diagnosed with hypopharyngeal cancer after months of a persistent sore throat.<\/p>\n
Following chemotherapy, radiation, immunotherapy, and a total laryngectomy in March 2025, he wrote that the surgery was successful and that his \u201coutlook remains positive\u201d as he worked toward recovery and learning to speak again with a prosthetic voice box.<\/p>\n
Bishop\u2019s wife, Daria, posted this message on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cDear friends, family, the cycling and Nordic skiing communities, this is just a very brief note to let you know that Andy Bishop reached the finish line peacefully early Tuesday morning [June 2] at the Jack Byrne Center in New Hampshire.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was surrounded by the love of close family in his last days, sleeping in the sunshine, watching (listening to) Star Wars, La La Land and listening to old jazz.\u2028 We are all so heartbroken about a vibrant life ending much too soon.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn obituary with details and plans for a celebration of life are in the works.\u2028In the meantime, go enjoy the outdoors, pause to admire a pretty flower and eat a Vermont maple creemee in his honor.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Andy Bishop, a pioneering American cyclist who raced four Tours de France and competed in mountain biking’s formative…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":722095,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[569],"tags":[64,214038,63,784,73253,85,86793,349896,349897,349898,85525,67883],"class_list":["post-722094","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cycling","tag-au","tag-audio-true","tag-australia","tag-cycling","tag-parent_category-news","tag-sports","tag-tag-american-racing","tag-tag-andy-bishop","tag-tag-gary-fisher","tag-tag-lea-davison","tag-tag-mountain-biking","tag-type-article"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722094","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=722094"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/722094\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/722095"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=722094"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=722094"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=722094"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
