Dimitri Konyshev

Dimitri Borisovich Konyshev (Russian: Дмитрий Борисович Конышев; born 18 February 1966) is a retired Russian road bicycle racer. During Konyshev's 17-year professional cycling career, he won nine Grand Tour stages with at least one stage win in all three Grand Tours. He won four stages each in the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia, and one stage in the Vuelta a España. Konyshev was the first Soviet and Russian rider to win a medal in the Men's Road race at the UCI Road World Championships. He won a silver medal in 1989 behind Greg LeMond, and a bronze medal in 1992 behind Gianni Bugno and Laurent Jalabert. He was also the first Soviet and Russian rider to win a stage at the Giro d'Italia.

While he did not win a Monument, he recorded four top‑ten finishes in Monument classics, three of which were in the Giro di Lombardia. At the 2000 Giro d'Italia, he won both the Points classification and the Combativity classification. During the 1997 race, he won a stage and the Intergiro classification.

Following his retirement from racing, he became a sports director at Tinkoff Credit Systems. Konyshev then moved to UCI World Team Team Katusha in 2009 where he was an assistant sports director for 11 seasons before the team folded in 2019. Gazprom–RusVelo employed Konyshev from 2020 to March 2022, when they lost their UCI license following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

Konyshev's son, Alexander Konychev, is also a professional cyclist, although he represents Italy.
