John has now retired from bike racing at the end of 2002.

Since John's retirement he has built up a large and very successful property construction and promotion business in Los Angeles. He now resides in Beverley Hills, Los Angeles, California. John is enjoying retirement, visiting the gym and generally having a more conventional lifestyle.

One recent newspaper article about his new business informed us that he bought a property in Beverly Hills for $9m and then, following development, sold the property on to one Mr Eddie Murphy, (yes the famed movie star), for an approximate $13m.  Spot on!
