Byl popul\u00e1rn\u00ed, pro elegantn\u00ed j\u00edzdu, dobr\u00fd spurt a j\u00edzdu v kopci ho novin\u00e1\u0159i p\u0159irovn\u00e1vali k legend\u00e1rn\u00edmu Eddymu Merckxovi. A div\u00e1ci vol\u00e1vali: \u201eSmol\u00ed\u010dku, pachol\u00ed\u010dku, doje\u010f n\u00e1m ve \u017elut\u00e9m tri\u010dku.\u201c<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na rozd\u00edl od spousty sv\u00fdch vrstevn\u00edk\u016f m\u011bl od po\u010d\u00e1tku jasno, \u017ee bude cyklistou. V rodn\u00e9m Hradci Kr\u00e1lov\u00e9 se v patn\u00e1cti letech p\u0159ihl\u00e1sil do Slovanu a za\u010dal vyhr\u00e1vat dorosteneck\u00e9 z\u00e1vody. Na vojn\u011b v Dukle Brno \u0161la jeho v\u00fdkonnost prudce nahoru a p\u0159i\u0161ly \u00fasp\u011bchy i v kategorii dosp\u011bl\u00fdch. V zim\u011b roku 1962 byl Smol\u00edk \u010dlenem t\u00fdmu Dukly, kter\u00fd byl t\u0159et\u00ed na mistrovstv\u00ed republiky v cyklokrosu. P\u0159i\u0161la v\u00edt\u011bzstv\u00ed v dom\u00e1c\u00edch etapov\u00fdch z\u00e1vodech a roku 1963 prvn\u00ed start v Z\u00e1vod\u011b m\u00edru.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Skon\u010dil tehdy sice a\u017e osmat\u0159ic\u00e1t\u00fd, ale pot\u00e9 vyhr\u00e1l t\u011b\u017ek\u00fd p\u011btietapov\u00fd z\u00e1vod Kru\u0161noho\u0159\u00edm a \u0160umavou a v nov\u00e9m tra\u0165ov\u00e9m rekordu i popul\u00e1rn\u00ed Praha \u2013 Karlovy Vary \u2013 Praha. V roce 1964 obl\u00e9kl Jan Smol\u00edk v druh\u00e9 etap\u011b Z\u00e1vodu m\u00edru \u017elut\u00fd trikot vedouc\u00edho jezdce a p\u0159ivezl ho a\u017e do c\u00edle. Prvenstv\u00ed mohl zopakovat i v roce 1967, ale o prvenstv\u00ed p\u0159i\u0161el vinou krize v etap\u011b do \u00dast\u00ed nad Labem a skon\u010dil \u010dtvrt\u00fd. I tak ale dos\u00e1hl v kdysi popul\u00e1rn\u00edm z\u00e1vod\u011b skv\u011bl\u00e9 bilance: vyhr\u00e1l \u0161est etap a v jedenadvacti nesl \u017elut\u00fd dres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jednou byl mistrem republiky v kategorii jednotlivc\u016f, t\u0159ikr\u00e1t v \u010dasovce dru\u017estev, vyhr\u00e1l etapov\u00e9 z\u00e1vody Kolem Slovenska a Bohemii. Na OH 1964 odstoupil po hromadn\u00e9m p\u00e1du, o \u010dty\u0159i roky pozd\u011bji v Mexiku byl t\u0159iadvac\u00e1t\u00fd.
