He also spent nine days in the yellow jersey, leading the general classification in the Tour de France.
Pévenage was team manager of Deutsche Telekom when Jan Ullrich started his career.
After a good 2003 Tour de France, Ullrich returned to Telekom, without Pévenage.
When Ullrich was suspected of using illegal doping in Operación Puerto and was fired by T-Mobile Team, Pévenage also had to leave.
He was rumoured to have worked as a connection between Ullrich and the Spanish Eufemiano Fuentes.
