When Svorada won Stage 2 of the 1998 Tour de France he became a rarity in professional cycling because he at the point became a Tour de France stage winner who won at least one stage with two different nationalities, because his first stage win at the Tour de France (Stage 7 in 1994) was obtained as a Slovak cyclist, and now he won four years later as a Czech rider.
