Ján Svorada

Cycling Disciplines

Ján Svorada is a retired road racing cyclist, born on 28 August 1968 in Czechoslovakia, who raced under two nationalities. After the country split in 1993 he rode for Slovakia until 1996 and then for the Czech Republic. That change made him a rarity in professional cycling: he won Stage 7 of the 1994 Tour de France as a Slovak and Stage 2 of the 1998 Tour de France as a Czech, so he won Tour de France stages under two different national identities. He also represented the Czech Republic at three Summer Olympics, in 1996, 2000 and 2004.
