Kim Andersen

Kim Andersen, born on 10 February 1958, is a Danish former professional road racing cyclist who later worked as a directeur sportif. In 1983 he became the first Dane to wear the yellow jersey of the Tour de France and went on to win stages in that race, as well as stages in the Vuelta a España, Four Days of Dunkirk, Ronde van Nederland, Midi Libre and Tour de Suisse. He won 31 races during his career, among them the semi-classic Flèche Wallonne in 1984. His riding career was marked by positive doping tests in 1987 and 1992, the second of which ended his time with his team. As a team manager he worked for Team Chicky World, Team Fakta and Team CSC (later Saxo Bank), and in 2010 he became the founding directeur sportif of Leopard Trek.
