Description from Wikipedia:
Davis Phinney (born July 10, 1959 in Boulder, Colorado) is a former professional road bicycle racer from the United States. Phinney claims to have won the most race wins in American history and was the first American, riding on an American based team, to win a stage at the Tour de France in 1986. His racing career spanned two decades and include two stage victories in the Tour de France, a USPRO National Road Championship title, and the 1984 Olympic Bronze Medal in the Men's 100K Team Time Trial, alongside Ron Kiefel, Clarence Knickman, and Andrew Weaver.
Since retiring from cycling, Davis has remained active as a cycling sports commentator, public speaker, journalist, and avid Nordic ski racer.

On Thursday, August 9, 2007, Taylor became the junior world time trial champion at the 2007 UCI Junior World Road and Track Championships held in Aguascalientes, Mexico.
Davis was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the age of 40, and established the Davis Phinney Foundation (DPF) in 2004. The Boulder based foundation is devoted to promoting and funding innovative and progressive research into the benefits of quality of life therapies on Parkinson's disease. The foundation also works to communicate the importance of integrating these therapies into everyday treatment plans.
