Alexandre Usov (born 27 August 1977) is a Belarusian retired racing cyclist.[1] His specialty is sprinting.
Career
Usov came so close to victory at the 2005 GP Ouest-France with both himself and winner George Hincapie celebrating the win and unsure who won. Hincapie was awarded the win in a photo finish but years later after Hincpie admitted to doping his result was annulled so usov finished second to no one.[2][3] Usov re-signing with Template:Cycling data ALM for the 2007 season was only going to happen if Francisco Mancebo did not return to the team as the team could not afford them both. Mancebo was implicated in Operación Puerto doping case and was facing possible suspension.[4] Mancebo left the team and Template:Cycling data ALM signed Usov.[5] After four top 10's in stages at the 2007 Giro d'Italia, Usov had his lead-out in the perfect position to contest the stage 18 sprint finish. The bunch went around one of the final corners too fast and Usov did not break in-time, crashing into his teammate and out of contention.[6]
Usov went to the 2008 Giro d'Italia as the nominated sprinter for Template:Cycling data ALM, he achieved three top 10 finishes in bunch sprints.[7] He did however get second place in the final bunch sprint at the 2008 Vuelta a España.[8]
