Mike Tomalaris is a household name for cycling fans throughout Australia. For decades he’s appeared on the screen on SBS-TV as a newsreader and sports commentator.
But Mike’s face is most closely associated with the Tour de France. He began anchoring the SBS Tour de France coverage way back in the 1990’s.
That came to an abrupt end in late 2021 when he was sacked by SBS in very shoddy circumstances that led both to a widespread public outcry and a dark time in Mike’s life.
But his own active cycling journey and his riding buddies in particular, have helped him come through to a brighter place.
Now Mike is enjoying new opportunities in cycling, becoming an ambassador to a leading cycling group and about to embark on a new career as a cycling tour guide.
In this interview, you’ll hear plenty of high and also some lows of Mike’s cycling journey.
