Kim Andersen (cyclist)

Kim Andersen (born 10 February 1958) is a Danish former professional road bicycle racer and current cycling team directeur sportif.

In 1983 he became the first Dane to wear the yellow jersey in the Tour de France, and later won stages in that race.

He has also sported stage wins in Vuelta a España, Four Days of Dunkirk, Ronde van Nederland, Midi Libre and Tour de Suisse, as well as numerous individual wins, 31 during his career.

Kim Andersen was tested positive for doping in 1987, and was banned for life, a sentence that was later changed to a one-year quarantine.

He left in June 2010 to become founding directeur sportif of Leopard Trek, which became a licensed ProTour team for the 2011 season.
