Remig Stumpf (25 March 1966 – 14 May 2019)[1] was a German cyclist. He competed at the 1988 Summer Olympics in the 100 km team time trial and in the individual road race and finished in sixth and 14th place, respectively.[2] He won the Tour of Berlin, Rund um Köln and Rund um Düren in 1986. In 1989 he finished third in the Kellogg's Tour of Britain. He won the six-day race of Cologne in 1992 and 1993.

Stumpf struggled to adjust to post-Olympic life. He killed his ex-wife Mirjam and committed suicide on 14 May 2019 in his home at Bergrheinfeld.[3][4]
