Jimmy Casper

Jimmy Casper, born on 28 May 1978, is a French road bicycle racer who competed as a professional between 1998 and 2012. He won stage 1 of the 2006 Tour de France, and on two occasions finished last in the general classification of that race, which earned him the red lantern. A positive test for a corticosteroid asthma drug during the 2008 Tour de France led to his suspension by his team Agritubel, although he was later cleared at a hearing of the French cycling federation. He went on to win stages of the Etoile de Besseges and the Criterium International, and the Paris Camembert and Grand Prix de Denain. He retired in December 2012 with 61 victories.
