Simon Geschke (born 13 March 1986) is a German professional road cyclist, who rides for UCI WorldTeam Cofidis. [3]
In the 2015 Tour de France, Geschke won a mountain stage as he was part of the breakaway and soloed across the line in Pra-Loup. [4]
In October 2020, Geschke signed with the Cofidis team as a mountain helper for team leader Guillaume Martin. [5]
At the 2022 Tour de Romandie, Geschke initially rode in support of Ion Izagirre, [6] but moved into overall contention, finishing as part of the lead group on the penultimate stage of the race in Zinal. [7] He then finished second to Aleksandr Vlasov on the final stage, a 15.84-kilometre (9.84-mile) individual time trial from Aigle to Villars-sur-Ollon, moving up to third overall behind Vlasov and Gino Mäder. [8] Prior to the Tour de France, Geschke finished third in the German National Road Race Championships. [9] At his tenth Tour de France, Geschke wore a classification jersey at the race for the first time; after getting into the breakaway on stage 9, Geschke earned enough points to take the lead in the mountains classification, which was his goal for the stage. [10] He also featured in the breakaways on stages 11, 14, [11] and 16, before losing the jersey to Jonas Vingegaard after stage 17, [6] [12] after 9 days as mountains classification leader – a record for a German rider. [12]
The son of former track cyclist Jürgen Geschke, Simon Geschke has been a vegan since 2016. [13]
