'''Roman Kreuziger''' ({{IPA|cs|ˈroman ˈkrojtsɪɡr̩}}; born 6 May 1986) is a [[Czech Republic|Czech]] former professional [[road bicycle racer]], who rode professionally between 2006 and 2021 for six different teams. His father, [[Roman Kreuziger Sr.]], was also a bicycle racer who won the [[Tour of Austria]] in 1991 and the [[Cyclocross]] Junior World Championships in 1983.

Kreuziger competed as an all-rounder, with [[climbing specialist|climbing]] and [[individual time trial|time trial]] abilities, becoming a contender for the [[General classification]] of [[stage races]]. He was also considered one of the biggest talents of the sport after winning the [[UCI Road World Championships – Junior men's road race|junior road race]] at the [[2004 UCI Road World Championships]] and the [[2008 Tour de Suisse]] at the age of 22. The next year, he won the [[2009 Tour de Romandie]] and in 2013, he was the victor of the [[2013 Amstel Gold Race|Amstel Gold Race]].

Since his retirement, Kreuziger now works as a [[directeur sportif]] for [[UCI WorldTeam]] {{UCI team code|TBV}}.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://bahraincyclingteam.com/roman-kreuziger-joins-bahrain-victorius-as-sports-director/|title=Roman Kreuziger Joins Bahrain Victorius [sic] as Sports Director|work={{UCI team code|TBV|2021}}|publisher=Bahrain World Tour Cycling Team|date=15 October 2021|accessdate=2 July 2023}}</ref>

==Career==

===Liquigas (2006–2010)===
He turned professional in 2006 with [[Liquigas]] after a successful amateur career which saw him win the [[UCI Road World Championships – Junior Men's Road Race|Junior Road World Championships]] in 2004 and a stage of the Giro delle Regioni in 2005. In 2007, he showed great improvements in his abilities by placing second in the prologues of [[2007 Paris–Nice|Paris–Nice]] and the [[2007 Tour de Romandie|Tour de Romandie]], where he also finished sixth overall. He took his first professional victory in the second stage of the [[Settimana Ciclistica Lombarda]]. In late 2007, he also completed his first [[Grand Tour (cycling)|Grand Tour]] after finishing 21st in the [[2007 Vuelta a España|Vuelta a España]].

In 2008, he finished second in the [[2008 Tour de Romandie|Tour de Romandie]], 35 seconds behind [[Andreas Klöden]], one of the world's leading riders. He avenged his loss by winning the [[2008 Tour de Suisse|Tour de Suisse]] by finishing 49 seconds ahead of Klöden and winning the mountain time trial to [[Klausen Pass]]. In his first [[2008 Tour de France|Tour de France]], he proved himself as an excellent climber among the world's greats, eventually finishing second in the youth competition, and 12th overall. After the Tour, Kreuziger was known to be one of the future riders to potentially win grand tours.

In 2009, he got back to the [[2009 Tour de Romandie|Tour de Romandie]] and finally succeeded in his attempt to win the race, getting also one stage victory. He added to this success by finishing in ninth place in the [[2009 Tour de France|Tour de France]].

In 2010, he won the [[Giro di Sardegna]], finished third in [[2010 Paris–Nice|Paris–Nice]]. Kreuziger's 9th overall in the [[2010 Tour de France|Tour de France]] was a disappointment because it was not much of an improvement from his 9th-place finish in the 2009 Tour (though he would move into 8th after the Alberto Contador's stripped title). He then made the move from {{UCI team code|LIQ|2010}} to {{UCI team code|AST|2011}} after five seasons with the Italian team.<ref>{{cite news|title=Kreuziger signs with Astana|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kreuziger-signs-with-astana|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|access-date=14 April 2013|date=16 August 2010}}</ref>

===Astana (2011–2012)===
[[File:Roman Kreuziger 2011 Tour de France.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Kreuziger at the [[2011 Tour de France]]]]
In 2011, Kreuziger won the mountains classification and a stage in the [[2011 Giro del Trentino|Giro del Trentino]]. He achieved a 4th-place finish in the [[2011 Liège–Bastogne–Liège|Liège–Bastogne–Liège]] by winning the sprint of the chasing group, almost half-a-minute behind winner [[Philippe Gilbert]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/24042011/58/gilbert-wins-liege-bastogne-liege.html|title=Gilbert wins Liege-Bastogne-Liege|work=[[Yahoo!]] [[Eurosport]]|publisher=[[TF1 Group]]|first=Michael|last=FitzGerald|date=24 April 2011|access-date=21 April 2013}}</ref> He then aimed for the [[2011 Giro d'Italia|Giro d'Italia]]. Kreuziger did not quite have the uphill strength that Contador, Nibali, and Scarponi had, causing him to miss out on the podium. He ended up finishing 5th overall and he also won the young rider's classification.<ref>{{cite web|author=Barry Ryan|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/giro-ditalia-2011/stage-21/results|title=Contador claims second Giro d'Italia victory|date=29 May 2011|website=[[Cycling News]]|access-date=21 April 2013}}</ref>

Despite riding the 2013 Tour to support [[Alberto Contador]], Kreuziger left the Pyrenees 5th overall. After putting a solid time trial on stage 17, Kreuziger moved into the top three, moving ahead of [[Laurens ten Dam]] and [[Bauke Mollema]]. Despite moving into a high finish with Alberto Contador, Kreuziger slipped down to 5th overall after losing ground to Nairo Quintana and Joaquim Rodríguez in the alps.

In 2014, Kreuziger started his season finishing 8th in the Tour of Oman. He rode the Tirreno Adriatico in support of Alberto Contador though he finished 3rd overall with Contador winning the race. After, he rode through the Ardennes classics finishing in the top ten in the Fleche Wallonne and the Liege-Bastogne-Liege. He then finished 8th the Tour de Suisse.

In June 2014, Tinkoff-Saxo announced that Kreuziger was being temporarily suspended from racing after the [[Union Cycliste Internationale|UCI]] questioned abnormalities in his [[biological passport]]. The UCI had originally highlighted the problems in his biological data for the 2011 and 2012 seasons through a letter in June 2013, which Kreuziger had responded to in October 2013, even though the values did not get out of the biological passport range which determines what values the gained cyclist samples ought to have. The UCI subsequently followed this up in May 2014. This prevented Kreuziger from riding the Tour de France and Tour de Pologne.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/racing/tour-de-france/roman-kreuziger-biological-passport-problems-tour-de-france-128528 |title=Roman Kreuziger out of Tour de France after biological passport problem |last1=Brown |first1=Gregor |date=29 June 2014 |website=[[Cycling Weekly]] |access-date=29 June 2014}}</ref> In August 2014, the [[Court of Arbitration for Sport]] rejected an appeal by Kreuziger to allow him to start the [[2014 Vuelta a España]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.espn.com/sports/endurance/story/_/id/11381434/roman-kreuziger-appeal-race-spanish-vuelta-denied-court-arbitration-sport |title=Roman Kreuziger's appeal denied|date=20 August 2014 |website=[[espn.go.com]]|access-date=21 September 2014}}</ref> On 22 September, it was announced that the [[Czech Olympic Committee]] had cleared him of any anti-doping violation and that he was free to compete again.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/kreuziger-cleared-by-czech-olympic-committee|title=Kreuziger cleared by Czech Olympic Committee|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=22 September 2014|access-date=22 September 2014}}</ref> The UCI and the [[World Anti-Doping Agency]] appealed against the decision to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in October 2014.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cycling/29750359 |title=Roman Kreuziger: UCI & Wada to appeal after rider cleared of doping|date=23 October 2014 |website=[[bbc.co.uk]] |access-date=27 October 2014}}</ref> The case was dropped by both agencies on 5 June 2015.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/uci-and-wada-drop-biopassport-case-against-kreuziger|title=UCI and WADA drop biopassport case against Kreuziger|website=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|date=5 June 2015|access-date=5 June 2015}}</ref> Kreuziger took part in the [[2015 Tour de France]], finishing in 17th place.
