Yes, it's surprising nowadays if someone doing sport smokes, but people like Serge Blanco and Ruud Gullit apparently chain-smoked in the '80s, so it's not a showstopper to athletic achievement. I don't know when top cyclists stopped smoking but I expect they all used to do it back in the day.
Actually Mike had a couple at the 2016 finishers' party. No idea how often he smoked.

Cool, thanks.
Met Chris Herbert on an audax a few weeks ago and was quite surprised when lit up a ciggie!
