Jaan Kirsipuu

One-day races and Classics Jaan Kirsipuu (born 17 July 1969) is an Estonian former road bicycle racer, who currently works as a directeur sportif for UCI Continental team Voltas–Tartu 2024 by CCN.

[1] He spent the majority of his career riding under the management of Vincent Lavenu, initially joining Lavenu's Chazal–Vanille et Mûre team as a stagiaire and staying with the squad in its various incarnations for 12 years, taking a total of 124 race wins for the team.

At his peak he was one of Estonia's top athletes and the first Estonian rider to win a stage in the Tour de France.

[citation needed] In spite of this, he won multiple stages and wore the yellow jersey for six days in 1999.

This made him the only rider from Estonia to lead any of the three Grand Tours until Rein Taaramäe led the Vuelta for two days in 2021.
