Christophe Agnolutto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christophe Agnolutto (born 6 December 1969 in Soisy-Sur-Montmorency) is a professional road bicycle racer from France. He rides for the Agritubel professional cycling team on UCI Europe Tour and UCI ProTour events.
His biggest career accomplishments to date include winning the Stage 7 at the 2000 Tour de France in an early breakaway; he was alone for 80 km of the 127 km stage from Tours to Limoges. In a similar fashion, he was the surprise winner at the 1997 edition of the Tour de Suisse when the race favorites did not chase him down on a Stage 2 breakaway and no one was able to make up the difference in the end.
The five-time Tour de France veteran announced his retirement at the end of the 2006 season.[1]
