Brian Holm

Brian Holm Sørensen (born 2 October 1962 in Copenhagen) is a retired Danish professional rider in road bicycle racing from 1986 to 1998, and rode for Team Telekom from 1993 to 1997, and was part of the team that brought his fellow Dane Bjarne Riis to victory in the 1996 Tour de France. Brian Holm rode in the Tour de France seven times, and completed each one.

Brian Holm has been a reliable helper for most of his career, that nonetheless also sport 11 individual victories, including a national championship (1990), the one-day classic Paris-Bruxelles and the semi-classic Paris-Camembert.

After his active career, Brian Holm has acted as a sport director, first for Danish pro-teams Team Acceptcard and Team Fakta, then for the Danish national team, and since 2003 for Team Telekom, which is currently named Team Columbia.

In his 2002 autobiography, he admitted having used doping during the 1990s. This did not cost him his job as manager for the Danish national team, despite some concern about him being a role model for the young riders. In May 2007 he admitted having used erythropoietin (epo) on two occasions in 1996 at Team Telekom.

In February 2004 he was diagnosed with colon cancer, underwent surgery and is now back on active duty.
