Ludo Dierckxens (born 14 October 1964 in Geel, Flanders) is a former Belgian racing cyclist. He is best known for winning the 11th stage of the 1999 Tour de France, while competing for Lampre-Daikin.

1999 Tour de France

Ludo Dierckxens won the 11th stage of the 1999 Tour de France. After this stage victory, Dierckxens went to take the obligatory doping tests. When the doctors asked him the routine question if he had taken any products which might cause a positive test result, Dierckxens replied that he had taken synacthen in the Tour of Germany. He claimed to have a prescription for them, but his team Lampre-Daikin did not know about this, and sent him home a few days later. The doping tests returned negative.[1]
