Serhiy Honchar (Ukrainian: Сергій Гончар) is a Ukrainian professional road racing cyclist, currently racing for team Preti Mangimi. He is a former World Time Trial Champion. In the 2006 Tour de France, Honchar wore the maillot jaune after a time-trial win in stage 7.
His Time Trialing position has been criticised but it is nevertheless very effective. Honchar rocks and rolls the top part of his body to get the most out of a big gear. He is one of the top Time Trialists in the World and this was evident as he beat Landis, Zabriskie, Lang, Rogers, Kloden, Evans and various others in the individual time trials in the 2006 Tour de France.
On 11 May 2007, it was announced that Honchar was suspended for 30 days by his T-Mobile team, following questionable results from blood tests taken at Liège-Bastogne-Liège and the Tour de Romandie. [1] On 19 June 2007, the T-Mobile team announced the termination of his contract. [2]
