Alexei Mikhailovich Markov (Алексей Михайлович Марков; born 26 May 1979 in Moscow) is a Russian former professional track and road bicycle racer. Standing about 1.81 m tall and weighing around 80–81 kg, Markov was regarded as a versatile rider capable in sprints and time-trials. [1]

During his career, he scored multiple stage victories in European road races, including wins in the Volta ao Algarve, Vuelta a La Rioja, Tour of Sochi, and Tour of China. Concurrently, on the track, he earned medals in team pursuits and points races at both world cup and Olympic events.

After retiring from competitive racing, Markov transitioned into team management and directorial roles. For example, he has served as a sports director for teams like RusVelo, contributing to the sport off the bike as well. [2]
