There's some nice shots there Paul! 
I would have been there too!
I've got some prints myself somewhere that were taken up at the Hotel in Trevelyan Square (94??, was it a Mariott??), & up at Lawnswood when they stopped up there (93??)
Eddy Merckx was in attendance!!!, to lend his support to Telekom (think it was still that name??), as Axel was riding for them, plus Motorola too.
What was surprising was how few people recognised him!

Did you come with us when we* all rode up to Roundhay Park for the World Cyclo-Cross Championships?

Great photos. Amazing to see again in pictures the quality of the field that turned up for these races.
I saw most of the Leeds Classics either at the finish on the Headrow or in Roundhay, in Headingley or up at Harewood. I was flabbergasted to find out that Jimmy Saville, who was invariably to be spotted hanging around at these events, was once a pro cyclist...

Somewhere I`ve got the programme for that race - also having seen the start I went flat out on the bike to Otley - managed to see them at the big roundabout where they surprised a lot of spectators by going the `wrong way` on the closed roads!
The race route, of course, had taken them about 3x my distance...
