André Greipel is a German road cyclist who raced professionally from 2005 to 2021 and made his name as a pure sprinter. Across his career he collected 158 victories, including 22 Grand Tour stages, the most by any German rider: eleven at the Tour de France, seven at the Giro d'Italia and four at the Vuelta a España, where he also won the points classification in 2009. He took the German national road race title three times, won the classic Paris-Bourges and the 2015 Vattenfall Cyclassics, and won the Tour Down Under overall in 2008 and 2010. After retiring he became a directeur sportif for continental teams and, in 2023, national road coach of the German Cycling Federation.
