Marcel Wüst

Marcel Wüst is a German former road racing cyclist, born in Cologne on 6 August 1967, who became one of the most prolific sprint winners of the Vuelta a España. He turned professional in 1988 with the French RMO team and rode for several foreign squads, including Castellblanch, Festina and Novemail-Histor. Over his career he won stages in all three Grand Tours: twelve in the Vuelta a España, one in the Tour de France and one in the Giro d'Italia. At the 2000 Tour de France he briefly wore the polka-dot jersey and won stage five at Vitré. A collision with another rider at a criterium in August 2000 cost him the sight of his right eye and ended his career. He later worked as a team director for Team Coast, as a television analyst, and from 2017 as a vice-president of the German cycling federation.
