Francisco Javier Cerezo Perales (born 1971), known as Francisco Cerezo for short, is a Spanish former professional road bicycle racer.[1]
He rode at the Danish professional cycling team of CSC-Tiscali, which he joined in 2001 from the Spanish team Vitalicio Seguros. He left the team in 2002 to join the Spanish team Cafés Baqué. In the 2000 Vuelta a España he was involved in a heated argument, which turned violent, with Mario Cipollini resulting in Cipollini being kicked from the race and Cerezo needing three stitches in his face.[2]
