Cycling career
editDespite his many successes (including being part of the first team pursuit squad to break the 4-minute barrier for the 4,000-metre team pursuit), he will probably be remembered best as the person caught by Chris Boardman riding the revolutionary Lotus Superbike, in the final of the 1992 Olympic individual pursuit in Barcelona. Lehmann was World Champion at that time.
Political career
edit
In the 2017 German federal election, Lehmann was elected as member of the Bundestag, representing the Leipzig I district.[2] In parliament, he has been serving on the Defence Committee (since 2018) and the Sports Committee (since 2022).[3]
