Alberto Elli (born 9 March 1964) is an Italian former road racing cyclist, who wore the yellow jersey for 4 days in the 2000 Tour de France.Elli was called up late for the 2000 Tour de France, and after a group of 12 cyclists stayed away from the others, Elli became a surprise leader, being the second oldest cyclist in the peloton.[1] He kept the yellow jersey until the Pyrenées mountains, where he lost it to Lance Armstrong.[2]
After retiring, he worked as a directeur sportif for several professional teams.
During the 2001 Giro d'Italia, the police found banned substances in Elli's hotel room.[3] In October 2005, he received a six-month suspended sentence by San Remo Judge Paolo Luppi.[4]
