Ioannis Tamouridis (Greek: Ιωάννης Ταμουρίδης; born 3 June 1980) is a Greek cyclist from Thessaloniki, Greece.[1] He started cycling in 1995 and he competes in Road and Track races.

Career

Early career

Highlights of his earlier career include two medals in world track championships, in Points Races (Los Angeles 2005) and Scratch (Bordeaux 2006). He has won 4 medals in track world cup by 2006 and has more than 30 times become Greek national champion in all disciplines (road, track and mountain bike races) and all categories.[2] He won the bronze medal for the time trial at the XVI Mediterranean Games held in Pescara, Italy .[3]

Tamouridis competed with Greek cycling team Sp Tableware between 2009 and 2012.

Euskaltel-Euskadi (2013)

He then joined the Euskaltel–Euskadi team for the 2013 season,[4] where he has affectionately become known as 'Tamu' among his team mates.[5]

To date,[6] he is the only Greek cyclist to have raced at the Spring Classics of Milan–San Remo, where he finished 88th out of 200 starters and 135 finishers under treacherous weather conditions,[7] Paris–Roubaix,[8] Tirreno–Adriatico and the Tour of Flanders. He is also the first Greek cyclist to have entered and finished a grand tour, the Giro d'Italia in 2013 where he participated in four bunch sprint finishes, achieving ninth place on the twelfth stage of the race.[9] He also came seventh in the Premio della Fuga classification.[10]

In June 2013 Tamouridis won both the National Men's Elite Road Race and National Men's Elite Time Trial champion titles, dedicating the latter to Rufino Murguía, Euskaltel–Euskadi's team masseur, who was killed when the team's bus was involved in a crash.[11]

Tamouridis rejoined SP Tableware in 2014, after his previous team – Euskaltel–Euskadi – folded at the end of the 2013 season.[12]
