Vladislav Bobrik (born 6 January 1971) is a Russian former road bicycle racer.[2] He only had six victories in his career with the most prestigious being the 1994 Giro di Lombardia.[3]
Going into the 1994 Giro di Lombardia Bobrik was not seen as a contender but as a domestique for Bjarne Riis. So when Bobrik made it into the final breakaway no one thought twice. As the group thinned out he kept with the leaders before out sprinting Claudio Chiappucci and Pascal Richard.[4][5] The bike he raced on was one of the first Titanium bikes made by De Rosa.[6]
Bobrik started the 1996 Vuelta a España as the leader of Gewiss Playbus.[7] He was unable to follow the leaders up the mountains and lost time in the first week. With two 11th placings in the final few stages he finished in 16th overall his best performance in a Grand Tour.[8]
