'''Svein Tuft''' (born May 9, 1977) is a Canadian former [[road bicycle racer]],<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.velonews.com/2019/10/news/retirements-in-2019-goodbye-to-the-pelotons-working-class-heroes_501917|title=Retirements in 2019 — goodbye to the peloton's working class heroes|work=[[VeloNews]]|publisher=Pocket Outdoor Media, LLC|date=October 21, 2019|access-date=January 9, 2020|first=Andrew|last=Hood|quote=Canadian Svein Tuft, 42, says goodbye to a long and unconventional career that saw him emerge as one of the hardest working and dependable team riders in the peloton.}}</ref> who rode professionally between 2005 and 2019 for the {{UCI team code|SYM|2008}}, {{UCI team code|GRM|2010}}, {{UCI team code|SPI|2011}}, {{UCI team code|MTS men|2018}} and {{UCI team code|RLY|2019}} teams. Tuft was the winner of the [[2006–07 UCI America Tour]], and was a thirteen-time champion at the Canadian road cycling championships: twice in the [[Canadian National Road Race Championships|road race]], and eleven times in the [[Canadian National Time Trial Championships|time trial]].

==Personal life==
He was born in [[Langley, British Columbia (city)|Langley]], [[British Columbia]], Canada. His grandfather, [[Arne Tuft]], was an Olympic [[Cross-country skiing (sport)|cross-country skier]] from [[Norway]].

Tuft dropped out of school at 15 to travel and camp with his dog named Bear. He spent the next several years mountain climbing and going on long bike trips, including a 4,000 mile trip to [[Alaska]] as a teenager.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2009/02/08/sports/othersports/08cycling.html|work=[[The New York Times]]|title=Canadian Rider Makes Unorthodox Climb to Pinnacle|access-date=February 8, 2009|date=February 8, 2009|first=Juliet|last=Macur}}</ref>

While racing with {{UCI team code|SYM|2008}}, Tuft lived in a trailer behind team owner Kevin Cunningham's house near Langley. In the adjacent trailer was Tuft's teammate [[Christian Meier (cyclist)|Christian Meier]]. The team referred to the two as the trailer park boys.

==Racing career==
===Symmetrics (2005–2008)===
Tuft first raced in 1999, at the [[British Columbia]] Provincial Championships.  Strong results landed him a place on the Broadmark Capital team, followed by short stints on the Mercury and Prime Alliance teams. Tuft's career flourished when he rode for the Canadian {{UCI team code|SYM|2008}} team&nbsp;– a prominent team in North American Cycling from 2005 to 2008. He first captured the Canadian national time trial title in 2004 from his former teammate and three-time Canadian Olympian [[Eric Wohlberg]]. Wohlberg held the title for eight consecutive years prior to Tuft.  In 2007 Tuft conceded the Canadian National Time Trial title to [[Ryder Hesjedal]].

He was selected to compete for Canada at the [[2008 Summer Olympics]] in [[Beijing]] [[China]] in the Road Race and Time Trial. Svein Tuft was the best finisher for a long time in the time trial, before eventually finishing 7th.

His best result was second place in the 2008 UCI World Championships time trial in Varese Italy during which he overcame a flat tire in the last 5&nbsp;km.

He featured prominently in a {{UCI team code|SYM|2008}} team Comic book written by [[Marvel Comics]] [[Dabel Brothers Productions]] Editor in chief [[Matthew Hansen]], which is used as a press kit for the team.  In the comic book, Tuft is very muscular. Upon seeing himself in the comic, Tuft remarked "We're all a bunch of sissies really."<ref name="Vancouver Sun">{{Cite news|url=http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/sports/story.html?id=cefb7c33-18bf-41f2-974c-1053ab677aed&p=1|work=[[The Vancouver Sun]]|date=July 13, 2007|access-date=February 8, 2009|title=Drawing inspiration|first=Gary|last=Kingston|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080929061519/http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/sports/story.html?id=cefb7c33-18bf-41f2-974c-1053ab677aed&p=1|archive-date=September 29, 2008|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

===SpiderTech–C10 (2011)===
In 2011 Svein Tuft was supposed to be a part of Team Pegasus Cycling.  Unfortunately due to sponsorship issues, the team had to pull out at the last minute.<ref name="CyclingNews">{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/pegasus-sports-owner-pulls-plug-on-team|work=CyclingNews|publisher=Future Publishing Limited|date=December 13, 2010|access-date=November 1, 2011|title=Pegasus Sports owner pulls plug on team|first=Les|last=Clarke}}</ref>  Tuft was recruited as a member of the Canadian Professional Pro-Continental Team, {{UCI team code|SPI|2011}}, managed by [[Steve Bauer]].  Tuft won both the Canadian National Time Trial and Canadian National Road championships in Burlington, Ontario with SpiderTech in 2011. In August 2011, Tuft announced that he would leave SpiderTech for the Australian team {{UCI team code|GEC|2012a|nolink=yes}} in 2012.<ref name="Tuft GreenEDGE"/>

===GreenEDGE (2012–2018)===
====2012 season====
He was praised for his {{convert|200|km|abbr=off|adj=on}} solo ride in front of the peloton during stage 2 of the [[2012 Tirreno–Adriatico]]. During the race, he reportedly burnt 6500 calories. [[Mark Cavendish]] tweeted it as "Ride of the day.. No, make that ride of the millennium, goes to GreenEDGE's Svein Tuft. 200km ALONE controlling the peloton! Respect."

In August 2012, Tuft prevailed on stage 6 of the [[2012 Eneco Tour|Eneco Tour]], a {{convert|17.4|km}} Individual Time Trial. The victory put him in the overall classification leader's jersey.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-2012/stage-6-itt/results|title=Tuft takes Eneco time trial and overall lead|work=Cycling News|publisher=Future Publishing Limited|date=August 11, 2012|access-date=August 11, 2012}}</ref> He lost the lead the next day on the seventh and last stage of the Tour, where he had to face the steep climbs of the Belgian "bergs." Tuft was announced as the third overall rider, but he was handed a 20 seconds penalty for taking a bottle of water from his team's car with less than {{convert|20|km|abbr=on}} to cover, which is against the rules. That punishment relegated him to seventh place, one minute behind winner [[Lars Boom]] of {{UCI team code|RAB|2012}}.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/12618/Eneco-Tour-Lars-Boom-secures-overall-with-late-attack-on-final-stage.aspx|title=Lars Boom secures overall with late attack on final stage|first=Ben|last=Atkins|work=VeloNation|publisher=VeloNation LLC|date=August 12, 2012|access-date=August 12, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/eneco-tour-2012/stage-7/results|title=Boom wins 2012 Eneco Tour|work=Cycling News|publisher=Future Publishing Limited|date=August 12, 2012|access-date=August 12, 2012}}</ref>

====2013 season====
In 2013, Tuft opened his account and took the first victory of the season for {{UCI team code|OBE|2013|nolink=yes}}, by winning the individual time trial in the [[2013 Tour de San Luis|Tour de San Luis]]. The {{convert|19.2|km|1|abbr=on}} course was swept by strong winds, according to Tuft.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.velonation.com/News/ID/13782/Tour-de-San-Luis-Kwiatkowski-grabs-race-lead-with-solid-time-trial-performance.aspx|title=Kwiatkowski grabs race lead with solid time trial performance|work=VeloNation|publisher=VeloNation LLC|date=January 24, 2013|access-date=January 25, 2013}}</ref> In July, he was the [[lanterne rouge]]&nbsp;– final-placed rider overall&nbsp;– of the [[2013 Tour de France|100th Tour de France]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2013/us/classifications.html|title=Classifications|work=Tour de France|publisher=ASO|date=July 21, 2013|access-date=October 23, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225010139/http://www.letour.com/le-tour/2013/us/classifications.html|archive-date=February 25, 2017|url-status=dead|df=mdy-all}}</ref>

====2014 season====
In 2014, Tuft wore the maglia rosa as leader of the [[2014 Giro d'Italia|Giro d'Italia]] since {{UCI team code|OBE|2014}} won the opening team time trial and he crossed the line first. He stated afterward: "For a guy like me, to wear the maglia rosa is a once in a lifetime experience, and I’m really thankful to my team for that gift. It’s a really special thing."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://roadcyclinguk.com/racing/belfast-crowds-truly-impressive-and-team-mates-like-brothers-says-maglia-rosa-svein-tuft.html#dZg8EoozoBlfD3lZ.97|title=Belfast crowds 'truly impressive' and team-mates 'like brothers' says maglia rosa Svein Tuft|work=RoadCyclingUK|publisher=MPORA|date=April 30, 2015|access-date=April 30, 2015|author=Timothy John}}</ref>

====2015 season====
In 2015, Tuft crashed at the [[2015 Tour de Romandie|Tour de Romandie]] as he was carrying water bottles to give to his teammates. He was a non-starter for the third stage.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/tour-de-romandie-2015/stage-3/results|title=Albasini doubles up at Tour de Romandie|work=[[Cyclingnews.com]]|publisher=[[Future plc]]|date=April 30, 2015|access-date=April 30, 2015}}</ref> It was later revealed after medical examination that he had suffered a minor wrist fracture and a sternum injury, and was therefore pulled out of {{UCI team code|OBE|2015}}'s [[2015 Giro d'Italia|Giro d'Italia]]'s roster.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cyclingquotes.com/news/tuft_out_of_the_giro/|title=Tuft out of the Giro|work=Cycling Quotes|publisher=CyclingQuotes.com 2013|date=April 30, 2015|access-date=May 1, 2015|author=Emil Axelgaard}}</ref>
