Davis Phinney (born July 10, 1959) is a former professional road bicycle racer from the United States. Phinney boasts the most race wins in American history and was the first American, riding on an American based team, to win a stage at the Tour de France in 1986. His racing career spanned two decades and include two stage victories in the Tour de France, a USPRO National Road Championship title, and the 1984 Olympic Bronze Medal in the 100 km Team Time Trial.
Since retiring from cycling, Davis has remained active as a cycling sports commentator, public speaker, journalist, and avid Nordic ski racer. He is married to Connie Carpenter-Phinney, with whom he has two children, Taylor and Kelsey.
Davis has been diagnosed as having Parkinson's disease, and has established the David Phinney Foundation to raise money for research into this disease.
