In 1990 John Tomac was racing road professionally and racing MTB at the same time.
He was focusing more on road and actually won the US Time trail nationals.
So he wanted to have his MTB to have the same riding position as his road bike so the only way to do that really was to put drop bars on his MTB.
He placed 5th at the first world champs in Darango in 1990 with this set up.
