Steven Todd Bauer, MSM (born June 12, 1959) is a former professional road bicycle racer from Canada. He is an Olympic medalist and winner of several professional races. He is the winner of the first Olympic medal in road cycling for Canada.
Cycling career
Bauer joined the Canadian national cycling team in 1977, competing in team pursuit. He would remain on the national team for seven years, winning the national road race championship in 1981, 1982, and 1983, competing in the Commonwealth Games (1978, 1982), the Pan American Games (1979).
He capped his amateur career with a silver medal in the men's cycling road race at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.[1] This was the first medal in road cycling for Canada at the Olympics.[2]
Bauer turned professional following the Olympics, and in his second professional race, won the bronze medal at the world cycling championship road race in Barcelona.
Between 1985 and 1995, he competed in 11 Tours de France. He began his professional career in 1985 on the La Vie Claire team of Bernard Hinault and Greg LeMond, where he stayed until leaving for Weinmann / La Suisse in 1988. Bauer finished fourth in the 1988 Tour, winning the first stage and wearing the yellow jersey for five days, the second Canadian to wear the jersey. The first was Alex Stieda in 1986, who was also the first North American to wear the yellow jersey.[3]
At the 1988 world championship, Bauer disputed the final sprint with Belgium’s Claude Criquielion and Italy’s Maurizio Fondriest. As he veered to the right, Bauer pushed Criquielion towards the barriers, causing him to strike the barrier footings and crash. Meanwhile, Fondriest passed and won the race. Bauer was disqualified, but once Criquielion sued Bauer for assault and battery, the municipal court of Oudenaarde ruled in Bauer's favour. The ruling was upheld in both the Appeal Court and the Supreme court, at which stage Criquielion was fined for bringing the case a third time in a process that lasted for more than five years. [4] [5]
In 1989 Bauer won the Züri-Metzgete. In 1990, he took second place in Paris–Roubaix to Belgian Eddy Planckaert. The finish was so close that the officials had to study the photo-finish for more than ten minutes before Planckaert was finally declared the winner. After 266 kilometers of racing, Planckaert had just edged Bauer by less than a centimeter, making it the closest finish of the race's history.[6]
Riding for 7-Eleven, Bauer wore the Yellow Jersey for nine stages during the 1990 Tour, finishing 27th. For his 1993 Paris-Roubaix campaign, he had a bike built by the Merckx factory with "an extreme rearward seat position" to test his theory that it would "engag[e] the quadriceps more efficiently" and with it "more power to the pedals". He failed to make the top ten (finishing over 4 minutes behind the winner in 23rd place [7]) and never rode the bike again.[8]
In 1994, he was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal (civil division) for having "paved the way for Canada's coming generations of cycling enthusiasts".[9]
In 1996, with professionals allowed in the Olympics, Bauer became a member of the Canadian team for the 1996 Summer Olympics, finishing 41st in the road race. He announced his retirement later that year at 37. The following year, he co-founded Steve Bauer Bike Tours.
In 2005 Steve was inducted to the Canadian Olympic Hall of Fame[10] and the Canadian Sport Hall of Fame.[11] Bauer also participated in the Red Bull Road Rage held on Tuna Canyon, Malibu, California.
In 2013, Bauer raced in the Canadian Cycling Championships in the Men's 50-59 road race and finished fourth.[12]
In 2015, Bauer raced in the Canadian Track Championships in the Men's 50-59 and finished 1st in the Scratch race, 1st in the Individual Pursuit and 2nd in the Points Race.
Team management
In September 2007, Bauer co-founded Cycle Sport Management which developed and owned a UCI Continental men road cycling team for 2008-2010 and a UCI Pro Continental men road cycling team 2011 & 2012.
Bauer was the co-owner and head directeur sportif of the team, which raced under a UCI Continental licence as You have called {{Contentious topics}}
