Graham Healy, author of a biography on Irish cyclist Shay Elliot, has read our post on Waiting For Godot's cycling connections and got in touch to say that, in fact, Beckett based the name on track cyclist Roger Godeau. I love the internet.
@ballsdotie @gergilroy Mr. Godot was actually Roger Godeau. The story gets a mention in my book about Shay Elliott.
