Joey McLoughlin (born 3 December 1964)cite web| url=http://www.cyclingwebsite.net/coureurfiche.php?coureurid=5828 |title=Joey McLoughlin |publisher=Cycling Website] was an English professional cyclist from Liverpool. His evident talent and aggressive riding style as a junior and young senior caused much excitement in the British cycling press at the time. He won the Milk Race with an audacious long-range attack on the Tumble - a mountain road in South Wales. He turned professional in 1985 and in his rookie year came 4th in the prestigious Dutch one-day classic, the Amstel Gold Race. Despite the early promise his wins were few and far between due to a series of injuries (especially tendonitis) prior to his retirement in 1991.
