Mike Tomalaris joins broadcast team for Road World Championships

·

Popular sports presenter, Mike Tomalaris, will be returning to TV screens as he joins the broadcast team for the Road World Championships in Wollongong, south of Sydney.

With the Nine Network & Stan having the rights to broadcast the 8-day 2022 World Championships programme, Tomalaris will sit alongside well-known commentators Kate Bates and Scott McGrory.

“I’m very happy about it,” Tomalaris told Bicycling Australia on Friday. “I know we’ll work exceptionally well together and make Australia proud.”

“This is like the Football World Cup, but it’s cycling and it’s right here,” he added.

When asked by the magazine whether his return was a ‘sweet victory’ after his forced resignation from SBS following more than three decades at the network covering sporting events such as the Tour de France, Tomalaris disagreed.

“I see it as an appointment for a person like myself who’s being in the sport for the best part of 30 years,” he said.

“I know the area, I know the riders, I just see myself as the right person for the role of what will be the biggest sporting event to come to Australia this year.”
