Mogens Frey Jensen is a retired Danish road bicycle racer. Frey won, along with Gunnar Asmussen, Per Lyngemark, and Reno Olsen the gold medal at the 1968 Summer Olympics in 4 km team pursuit. However, he is more famous for the way he won stage 9 in the 1970 Tour de France. Here, he defeated his own team captain Joaquim Agostinho. Agostinho was first over the finish line, but was immediately disqualified for putting his hand on Frey's handlebars, thus holding him back in the sprint.
