Andrew Hampsten Biography

Andrew Hampsten is one of the most popular and richest Cyclist who was born on April 7, 1962 in Ohio, Ohio, United States. Professional cyclist who won the Giro d’Italia in 1988. He competed professionally from 1985 to 1996 for such teams as 7 Eleven and Motorola.

He competed with Greg LeMond in the 1986 Tour de France.

Andy Hampsten caught the public eye in 1985, when he won stage 20 of the Giro d’Italia. The following year, he was signed by Bernard Hinault’s La Vie Claire team. In his first full season as a pro, 1986, he won the Tour de Suisse and helped his compatriot and team leader Greg LeMond to victory in the Tour de France. He also finished the Tour de France fourth overall and claimed the white jersey of best young rider.

In 1987, Hampsten repeated his victory in the Tour de Suisse, this time for the 7-Eleven Cycling Team. His greatest moment came in the 1988 Giro d’Italia, on a short stage over the Gavia Pass. Attacking on the climb, Hampsten overcame a severe snowstorm to take the Maglia Rosa – although he finished second on the stage to Dutchman Erik Breukink. The conditions during this stage were among the worst in cycling history. During and following this stage numerous cyclists abandoned and several had to be loaded into ambulances and taken to the hospital due to hypothermia like symptoms. Hampsten’s teammate Bob Roll finished the stage, but his condition following the stage shows among the harshest looks at what the elements can do to a rider who pushes himself to the absolute limit. After surviving this Gavia Pass stage he was able to successfully defend the Leader’s jersey through the rest of the race and as a result he became just the 2nd American to win a cycling Grand Tour and the 1st American to win the Giro d’Italia.

He married Elaine Hampsten in 2010.
