Andreas Petermann (* 7. June 1957 in Greiz , Gera district , East Germany) is a former GDR - cyclist and former national coach (train endurance) at the German Cycling Federation (BDR).

Cycling career

He won a title at the races of the Children's and Youth Partakiade in 1972. He won his first GDR championship title in 1975 in the youth class A in all-around. A first great success for him was the victory in the ranking of the best young driver at the GDR Tour in 1975. Petermann was second in the GDR championships in the team time trial over 100 kilometers on the road in 1978, 1979 and 1983 , and in 1980 he finished third. In 1981 he was able to win the championship title with the team of the SC DHfK Leipzig ( Martin Goetze , Uwe Raab , Bodo Straubel ). At the UCI Amateur World ChampionshipsIn 1979 he became world champion in the team time trial over 100 kilometers with the GDR team. At the 1979 and 1982 World Championships, he achieved two fifth places in the road race. In 1980 and 1981 he won the International Tour of Thuringia . With eight participations in the International Peace Tour, Petermann was one of the drivers who started most often. In 1979 he finished second and was among the top ten in the overall ranking five times. At his last start in 1983 he won the last stage from Tabor to Prague after a long solo escape.

Activities as a lecturer and trainer

After his active time, Andreas Petermann worked as a lecturer in the cycling department at the German University of Physical Culture in Leipzig . From 1986 to 1994 he was involved in the cycling research group with a focus on training methodical and sport-scientific topics of rail sport.

From 1995 until 2000, Petermann was the national trainer of the German Triathlon Union for the areas of performance diagnostics and training analysis. He was also responsible for the youth squad. From 2000 he worked as a sports director in various professional teams such as Coast , Bianchi and Wiesenhof .

In June 2008, Andreas Petermann was introduced by the BDR as the new national trainer for the track cycling endurance elite / U23 area. He took over the office from Uwe Freese . On January 7, 2011 he was released from his work as a national trainer for endurance trainers by the BDR Presidium. The reason given was that the German four-wheeler , for whom Petermann was responsible as national coach, is currently ranked tenth in the Olympic qualification in the European ranking, with a large gap to the other six qualifiers, and thus the Olympic qualification is in serious danger.

From the 2012 season, Petermann will look after the Moroccan national team. With 13th place for Souffiane Haddi in the U-23 World Championship race in Valkenburg, he achieved his first respectable success.

Andreas Petermann lives in Zwenkau and has been a sports teacher at a school in Grimma since 2016 . He has a son.
