Tino Tabak is interviewed after winning the 1967 Dulux Six-day Cycle Race. Tabak dominated New Zealand road cycling in the mid-1960s, winning the Dulux twice and the Tour of Southland three times. Having conquered New Zealand, in 1968 the 22-year-old left for Europe, where he turned professional and twice rode in the Tour de France. His 18th place on general classification in 1972 is the highest achieved in the Tour by a New Zealand rider. Tabak returned to New Zealand in 1994.
