Timeline

1967

John Tomac (born November 3, 1967, in Owosso, Michigan) is an American former professional cyclist who competed from 1985 to 2005.

He was a versatile rider who competed in multiple disciplines including; BMX racing, cross-country, road racing, trials riding and downhill racing.

1975

He began to compete in BMX racing events in and around Michigan in 1975 and continued competing in this discipline into his teenage years racing against Michigan BMX legends Tony Carnes, Mike Chapman, and Tim Root.

1980

Tomac became a mountain bike racing icon in the late 1980s as the sport began to develop beyond its formative years.

1984

In 1984, at the age of sixteen, Tomac won the National Cruiser Class title with the factory Mongoose team.

1985

He turned professional in 1985 and spent his last year of BMX competition contesting events as a privateer.

1986

In 1986, Tomac made two significant decisions: he relocated to Southern California, and left BMX competition in favour of mountain bike racing.

He continued to ride for Mongoose.

By the autumn of that year, he had won his first two major mountain bike events: the Ross Fat Tire Stage Race in Massachusetts and the Supercross Mountain Bike Exhibition race held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.

1987

Mongoose marketed a Tomac Signature Edition model in 1987, which reflected his increasing profile within mountain biking culture.

Tomac achieved a few more notable wins during that year, including a second win in the Fat Tire Stage Race and three National XC Series rounds.

In 1987, John Tomac appeared in one of the first instructional mountain biking videos ever produced, entitled The Great Mountain Biking Video produced by New & Unique Videos of San Diego, California.

1988

1988 brought Tomac national title-winning success.

By achieving the highest combined points total from the National Off-Road Bicycle Association's (NORBA) Cross-country, Downhill and Dual Slalom championships, Tomac won the overall title of NORBA World Champion.

He was ranked in first place in the Cross-country and Dual Slalom disciplines.

The "World" status was a misnomer, however, as the NORBA championships were held only in the United States.

Tomac's results and rapid rise to prominence earned recognition from U.S. cycling magazine Velo News, which voted him the world's best all-round rider of 1988.

From 1988 to 1991, Tomac dovetailed professional programs in both mountain biking and road racing.

1989

Tomac retained his overall NORBA title in 1989, and also won the NORBA DH Championship for the first time.

In a season in which he competed at the highest level on both sides of the Atlantic, he added the German and European XC titles to his collection.

In addition to that, Tomac won two events on his way to the UCI XC World Cup title, and added a second NORBA DH title to his 1989 win.

The following year, he finished in fifth place at the DH World Championship held in Bromont, Canada, and had to settle for second place behind Switzerland's Thomas Frischknecht in the XC World Cup rankings (though there were two event wins again).

An accident in which Tomac struck an errant spectator in the final event at Mount Snow, Vermont, prevented him from outscoring his rival and retaining the title.

1990

The first true World Championships for XC and DH, sanctioned by the Union Cycliste Internationale, were held in Durango, Colorado, in 1990 where John placed 4th in the downhill.

John is well remembered for riding road style drop bars on his Yeti mountain bike at this race which was a noticeable deviation from the other riders.

This equipment decision was influenced by his recent experience riding for the 7-11 road cycling team in Europe where he was under contract.

In 1990, he joined Yeti Cycles' factory MTB team and the 7-11 road team, embarking on a busy program of events in Europe and the U.S. To facilitate his road racing career, Tomac based himself in Belgium, and regularly traveled between the two continents to compete in major road and mountain events.

Although he failed to win any of the three individual NORBA series, he won the overall NORBA title for the third year in succession.

1991

In 1991 he was inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame and, in 2004 he was inducted into the United States Bicycling Hall of Fame.

Tomac first participated in cycle racing at the age of seven.

1991 saw a change of teams: from Yeti to Raleigh and from 7-11 to Motorola.

A stronger mountain bike season culminated in UCI World Championship success in Ciocco, Italy, with Gold in XC and Silver in DH.

1993

In 1993, Tomac was the runner-up to Germany's Jürgen Beneke in the inaugural UCI Downhill World Cup and lost out to Frischknecht again in the XC rankings.

This was to be the last season in which Tomac would finish in the top three in the World Cup, but he continued to achieve notable results in the World Championships.

1994

Between 1994 and 1997, Tomac would win three more NORBA titles – two in DH and one in XC – as well as some notable individual events such as the Sea Otter Classic and Cactus Cup.

1997

In 1997, five years after his last World Championship medal, he finished second in the downhill event at Château-d'Oex in Switzerland.

2000

He officially announced his retirement from racing at the Sea Otter Classic in 2000, but would later make an occasional return to competition.

2004

In 2004, at the age of 37, he won the famous Kamikaze Downhill held at Mammoth Mountain, California.

2005

At the time of his retirement in 2005, he had won more mountain bike races than anyone in the sport.

Then, for good measure, he returned in 2005 and won it again.
