Evgeni Berzin Biography

Evgeni Berzin is one of the most popular and richest Cyclist who was born on June 3, 1970 in Vyborg, Leningrad Oblast, Russia.

Berzin began his career as a track rider in the youth system of the Soviet team, under Alexandre Kuznetsov, joining when he was 14 years old. He won the Men’s Individual Pursuit at the 1990 Amateur World Championships and the Team Pursuit at both the 1990 and 1991 Amateur World Championships. In 1992, Berzin wanted to switch to road racing in order to compete in the road race at the 1992 Olympics, but Kuznetsov refused. Berzin subsequently left Russia and went to Italy with his girlfriend, Stella. Here, he teamed up with Emanuele Bombini, a recently retired rider in the process of building a cycling team around former world champion Moreno Argentin with Mecair, an engineering company, as the main sponsor. The team, Mecair–Ballan, was formed for 1993 and Berzin became part of it, alongside his friend Vladislav Bobrik.

Coming from track cycling, where he successfully represented the Soviet Union at World Championships, he moved to Italy in 1992 and turned professional with Mecair–Ballan in 1993. His second season in 1994 was to be his best, with victories at the Giro d’Italia and Liège–Bastogne–Liège. He finished second at the 1995 Giro d’Italia, but failed to live up to high expectations in the years after. A brief spell in the race leader’s yellow jersey and a stage win at the 1996 Tour de France were his last big results. In 1997, he unsuccessfully attempted to break Chris Boardman’s hour record. He retired from the sport in 2001.

In 1995, Berzin returned to the Giro d’Italia, with Rominger also on the start line. Berzin would eventually finish second overall, but a strained relationship between himself and teammate Ugrumov, third overall, prevented them from seriously challenging Rominger. During stage 14, Ugrumov even actively rode with Rominger to distance Berzin, who managed to get back with some difficulty. Berzin’s best moment of the race came on the penultimate day, when he won the stage to Salita di Montegrino Valtravaglia, coming in 25 seconds ahead of Rominger and Ugrumov, thereby securing his second place.
