More on Johan Bruyneel
Description from Wikipedia:
Johan Bruyneel (born August 23, 1964, Izegem, Belgium) is a former road bicycle racer in professional cycling and a directeur sportif for UCI ProTeam Astana. Retiring from racing in 1998, he became director of Team Discovery (formerly U.S. Postal Service Pro Cycling Team), a US-based UCI ProTour cycling team. He produced eight Tour De France winners (Lance Armstrong from 1999-2005 and Alberto Contador in 2007)
Early wins included the 1990 Tour de l'Avenir, the 1991 Rund um den Henninger Turm, the 1992 Grand Prix des Nations and Coppa Placci, and stage 6 (Evreux > Amiens) and finishing 7th at the 1993 Tour de France. His stage win set the record for fastest stage at 49.417 km/h, since then only broken by two cyclists.
His greatest successes as a cyclist came at 1995 Tour de France when he won stage 7, which began in Charleroi and ended in Liège, Belgium, and took the yellow jersey in his home country. Bruyneel launched an escape and was joined by eventual winner Miguel Indurain. The Spaniard took the lead and rode the stage as a time-trial to gain time on his main rivals. Bruyneel, barely able to follow the tempo himself, beat Indurain in the sprint. Bruyneel admitted he felt somewhat uneasy about how he had won. The win into Liège afforded him a chance meeting with the King of his country during the prize presentations. That same year, he finished 3rd at the 1995 Vuelta a España and won the Aalst criterium.
Bruyneel's book, We Might As Well Win, was published by Houghton Mifflin on June 4, 2008.
As of the October 2007 negotiations with the Kazakh government, Bruyneel was signed to take over control of the embattled Astana Team and brought Levi Leipheimer and Alberto Contador with him for the 2008 season.
