John Tomac Paris-Roubaix article

nimbus · Apr 14, 2009

Not sure where to put this (or if it has already been posted somewhere), but there is a nice interview with John Tomac over on BikeRadar, talking about Paris-Roubaix and other road races in the early 90s.

Well I never...
Thanks for posting that mate.

Great article. Realised Tomac did a bit on the road in Europe, however his exploits are poorly reported in comparison to his mtb career. wonder if he could've made a better go on the road if he'd have switched to it full time.

Excellent, thanks for the link. I enjoyed the You-Tube clip.

I remember him saying in an interview at the time that he used to get told off by his roadie mechanic for wheelie-ing down the road on his road bike

I believe he also came over to do the Kellogs Tour of Britain when he was with Motorola.
I'm sure I've got some pics of him from the top of Stanton Lees.

Tomac at Stanton Lees! -that's just up the road.
-Blimey.

..It would be good to see those pics, Gav.

I think I've found the pic in question but it's on a slide so I can't scan in on my scanner. My old man can do it on his though so hopefully sometime next week.
