Mircea Romașcanu
Mircea Romaşcanu (born March 11, 1953 in Otopeni ) is a former Romanian cyclist and current cycling trainer .
Romașcanu was discovered at the age of eighteen and accepted into the Dinamo Bucharest team when he regularly cycled from his home town of Otopeni to the nearby capital Bucharest , where he worked as a typographer . With eleven participations in the Peace Tour , he is one of the athletes who has contested this bike race most often. The tall Romaşcanu became popular because of his long solo escapes as well as numerous attempts to break away and a lot of leadership work in top groups. A possible step to the professionals, which would have been possible due to his performance, was denied him by the sports leadership of the country. Twice in 1978 and 1979 he was Romanian road racing champion . In 1979 he won the stage race Cursa Moutilor, which was scheduled for the Romanian national drivers as a selection race for the peace drive.
In 2005 he was a coach at Dinamo Bucharest , in 2008 and 2009 he coached the cyclists of Delma 2003 Medgidia . With the help of Constantin Silviu Gheorghe, the mayor of Otopeni, he founded the cycling department of CS Otopeni in May 2012 , which he also managed.
