Bernhard Kohl (born 4 January 1982 in Vienna) is an Austrian former professional road bicycle racer and recognized climbing specialist.
After the Gerolsteiner team announced they would not be in existence for the 2009 season, Kohl signed with UCI ProTeam Silence–Lotto for three years.
He was 73 seconds behind winner Carlos Sastre at the completion of the event, finishing in third place in the General classification.
He was banned from the sport for two years after testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs in October 2008.
On 25 May 2009, he announced his retirement from the sport, claiming that it is "impossible to win without doping" in international cycling.
