Andreas Klöden (born 1975) is a German former professional road racing cyclist who competed as a professional from 1998 to 2013. His major achievements include a bronze medal at the 2000 Olympic Games and second place in the general classification of the Tour de France in 2004 and 2006. He was a tall, lightly built rider with enough strength to place high in the overall classifications of the Grand Tours, although his performances were often affected by injuries. In 2003 he was forced to abandon the Tour de France because of a fractured tailbone, and in 2008 he won the Tour of Romandie and came second in the Tour de Suisse.
