Steve Cummings with Sports Publicity back in 2004 before his Discovery, Barloworld, Sky and now BMC days. Thrown in are pics from 2004 of TT legend and Cycling Weekly columnist Michael Hutchinson and his old nemesis Stuart Dangerfield who finally retired from the TT scene in 2009.

It’s interesting to see the change in equipment, clothing tech, physique and riding positions. Just check out the immaculate transmission on Dangerfield’s 2004 bike.
