Professional cyclist I was a European professional from 1982 to 1996. I rode for four teams: Peugeot 1982-1986; Fagor 1987-1988; 7-Eleven 1989-1990; and Motorola 1991-1996. My biggest wins included a time trial stage of the Tour de France (1988), a stage win in the Tour of Spain (1988), the Tour of Belgium (1989), the GP Eddy Merckx time trial (1989), and the USPRO champs (1994). I wore the yellow jersey in the 1994 Tour de France — only the third British rider to do so after Tom Simpson and Chris Boardman. Paris-Roubaix was one of my favourite Classics and I had placings of 5th (1994), 8th (1993), 11th (1995) and 13th (1992). I was second in the 1989 Ghent-Wevelgem. I finished the Tour de France 12 times from 15 starts. My 12 finishes ranks me 15th in the all-time finisher’s list. Amateur cyclist During my short amateur career in the UK and France I rode for East Grinstead CC, Archer RC, '34 Nomads and the ACBB in Paris. I was national pursuit and 25-mile champion in 1980, the same year I set competition record for 10 miles (19-44). In my final year as an amateur I won the GP de France TT and was third in the amateur GP des Nations. After I retired in 1996 I continued racing as an amateur with Team Clean and In-Gear RT. Since then I’ve set PB’s for 10-miles in 19-07, 25-miles in 46-57, 50-miles in 1-43-33, 100-miles in 3-30-49 and 12-hours (comp record) on a tandem with Zak Carr with 304.6m. I won the national 50-mile TT champs in 1997. I won about 10 races last year. 1982 Peugeot 1st st4 Circuit de la Sarthe 1st st3 Tour Indre et Loire 1st Great Yorkshire Classic 1st GB pursuit championship 2nd GB pro road race championship 46th world road race championship (Goodwood UK) 1983 Peugeot 1st Isle of Wight International 1st GB pursuit championship 5th Milk Race (yellow jersey) 5th Etoile des Espoirs 1984 Peugeot 1st prologue, Four Days of Dunkirk 1st Kellogg’s crit (Bristol UK) 3rd Tour of Sweden 3rd Tour de Vendee 7th Paris-Camembert 51st Amstel Gold Race 58th Milan-San Remo 91st Tour de France 1985 Peugeot 2nd Nice-Alassio 122nd Tour de France 1986 Peugeot 1st st2 Milk Race 13th GP d’Isbergues 46th Amstel Gold Race 50th Milan-San Remo 112th Tour de France 1987 Fagor 1st GP Cannes 1st st3 Nissan Classic 8th GP des Nations 10th Tour Pyrenees Med 16th Four Days of Dunkirk 70th world road race championship dnf Tour de France 1988 Fagor 1st st1 Paris-Nice (18th GC, leader’s white jersey) 1st st12 Tour of Spain (71st GC) 1st st5 Midi Libre (17th GC) 1st st6 Tour de France (record average speed) 4th Kellogg’s Tour of Britain 5th Pantalica Trophy 11th GP des Nations 17th Nissan Classic 53rd world road race championship 56th Paris-Roubaix 59th Tour de France 1989 7-Eleven 1st st1a and b Tour of Belgium 1st overall Tour of Belgium 1st prologue Tour of Holland (4th GC) 1st GP Eddy Merckx TT 2nd Ghent-Wevelgem 7th GP Bavikhove 37th Milan-Remo 58th Tour of Flanders 45th Tour de France 1990 7-Eleven 1st st5 Dauphine Libere 3rd Nissan Classic 3rd Baracchi Trophy TT (with D-O Lauritzen) 4th GP Eddy Merckx TT 5th Veenendaal-Veenendaal 15th GP des Nations 35th Paris-Tours 55th Tour of Lombardy 81st Paris-Roubaix 119th Tour de France 1991 Motorola 1st st4 Nissan Classic (2nd GC) 17th Tour of the Mediterranean 26th Paris-Tours 52nd Paris-Roubaix dnf Tour de France 1992 Motorola 1st GB road race championship 3rd Firenze-Pistoia TT 4th Tour of Holland 11th GP Overijse 12th GP Impanis 13th Paris-Roubaix 14th GP Eddy Merckx 15th Tour de l’Oise 16th GC World Cup 20th Kellogg’s Tour 23rd Ghent-Wevelgem 37th Tour of Lombardy 87th Tour of Italy 83rd Tour de France 1993 Motorola 1st st3 Tour du Pont (12th GC) 4th Core States USPRO championship 6th GP Eddy Merckx 8th Paris-Roubaix 9th Tour of Sweden 19th Tour of Luxembourg 19th Kellogg’s Tour 26th Tour of Lombardy 27th Amstel Gold Race 36th Tour of Flanders 88th Tour de France 1994 Motorola Yellow jersey Tour de France one day 1st Core States USPRO championship 2nd Thrift Drug Classic 2nd GP d’Isbergues 3rd Paris-Brussels 5th Paris-Roubaix 6th West Virginia Classic 6th Tour of Britain 7th Tour of Holland 9th GP Eddy Merckx 9th GP Impanis 11th Tour of Switzerland 11th Tour du Pont 13th Leeds Classic 71st Tour de France 1995 Motorola 5th Voegli Memorial 11th Paris-Roubaix 12th GP Eddy Merckx 14th GP E3 Harelbeke 20th Tour of Holland 27th Leeds Classic 28th Tour of Switzerland 39th Amstel Gold Race dnf Tour de France 1996 Motorola 45th Paris-Roubaix Amateur 1979 2nd national amateur pursuit championship 3rd national 25 mile championship TT 10 mile comp records at 20-26 and 20-18 1980 1st national pursuit championship 1st national 25 mile championship TT 1st Girvan three-day 1st prologue Sealink International 6th amateur GP des Nations 10 mile comp record at 19-44 Team pursuit Moscow Games 1981 1st GP de France 1st Paris-Connere 1st GP de Boulogne 3rd amateur GP des Nation
