Serguei Outschakov, born on 11 May 1968 in Arkhangelsk, is a Ukrainian former road bicycle racer. He rode professionally from 1993 until 2002 and won stages in all three Grand Tours: one stage of the Tour de France in 1995, two of the Giro d'Italia, in 1995 and 1996, and two of the Vuelta a Espana, in 1993 and 1999. His 1995 Tour de France stage came from a breakaway with Lance Armstrong, whom he beat in the sprint; the ESPN documentary Lance describes that loss as the impetus for Armstrong's decision to start taking erythropoietin. In the 1997 Tour de France he crossed the line first on stage 11 but was relegated to third place for not holding his line in the final sprint.
