is the link to some pictures I scanned and put up on FB. You should be able to use the link even if you don't have a FB account.
I've got some more stuff to scan at home - Kelloggs ToB from the 1980's and 1990's but enjoy this for now

Nasty black clouds that day...
Good retro pics - from a time when Spinergy wheels were considered a good idea. 
Think I can also see a helmet visor - surely a faux pas, even then?? |

Looks like Nick Craig, if I remember correctly he wore a visor in the Olympics or Worlds RR one year.

Not got a pair of Carnac Jalaberts, but I have got that very jersey that Killer is wearing.
We had to change our jearseys just for that race as the race leaders jearsey was all red, as ours was that year.
Big Mat, was also team Brite as you can see from his kit! |

They were terrible when i weighed 60 kilos, god know what they would be like now i'm a "bit" heavier.
A solution to a problem that never existed (except customers money being in customers pockets, rather than spinergys pockets) |

The Kelloggs and Prutours were quite something then, and one of the legacies from it is still very much with us today. It's where the NEG first started operating. Orange kit was oicked to contrast with the police escort team in yellow. Still around, as are quite a few of us old boys who were founder members. And I was still using the same BMW until a couple of years ago!

I KNOW! Just check out the one of Tyler Hamilton grinding up Rosedale yet about a year later he was on the front of the peloton leading Lance up the big climbs without much difficulty. Go figure!

| Matt Illingworth always looked like he had his helmet on too far back. Not helped by wearing small sunglasses to expose extra forehead. |

W.T.F are you on Rich? You make little sense at the best of times, and it gets worse by the week. |

I always think of that day when I look at Stu O'Grady now, looks like a different person. I was at the Newcastle finish the day before and at the York finish the day of the Rosedale Chimney. Great pics.
I have uploaded some of my scans from the time, also on FB:

They ended Michele Bartali's career pretty much.
