Luc Leblanc, born on 4 August 1966, is a French former professional road cyclist who became world road champion in 1994. A road accident at the age of eleven left his left leg shorter and weaker, and a physiotherapist's advice to take up cycling led him away from an earlier wish to become a priest. He led the 1991 Tour de France briefly after a long breakaway, then won the 11th stage of the 1994 Tour de France ahead of Marco Pantani and Miguel Indurain and took the mountains classification at the 1994 Vuelta a España before winning the world title. He rode for Festina, Le Groupement and Polti, won a stage of the 1996 Tour de France, and later admitted using EPO.
