Thomas Voeckler is a French former road racing cyclist who rode professionally from 2001 to 2017, mostly for the Direct Énergie team and its earlier incarnations. He was born in Schiltigheim in Alsace and later moved to Martinique. He became one of the best known French riders of his generation through strong and combative rides at the Tour de France. In 2004 he took the yellow jersey after a breakaway on the fifth stage and defended it for ten days, which made him a national hero. He won the overall title at the 2003 Tour de Luxembourg and his first Tour de France stage in 2009. Since 2019 he has managed the French national team.
