Tony Rominger (born 27 March 1961 in Velje, Denmark) is a Swiss cyclist who won major tours four times in his career—the Vuelta a España three consecutive years (1992, 1993, 1994) and Giro d'Italia once (1995). He was a challenger to Miguel Indurain's dominance in the Tour de France placing second in 1993 and winning the Polka dot jersey. His three wins in the Vuelta were an all-time record for that tour, beaten by Roberto Heras in 2005. In 1994 he set a World Hour record distance of 55.291km. He retired in 1997 after breaking his collar bone at that year's Tour de France.
