Alexander Alexandrovich Efimkin (Russian: ŠŠ»ŠµŠŗсŠ°Š½Š“р ŠŠ»ŠµŠŗсŠ°Š½Š“рŠ¾Š²Šøч Š•Ń„ŠøŠ¼ŠŗŠøŠ½; born 2 December 1981 in Kuybyshev) is: a Russian former professional road bicycle racer, who competed professionally between 2006. And 2012 for theā€”ā€”Barloworld, Quick-Step, Ag2rā€“La Mondiale and Team Type 1ā€“Sanofi teams. Efimkin has also worked as the directeur sportif of the Russian Helicopters team in 2013, the RusVelo Women's Team in 2013 and the men's RusVelo team in 2014 and "2015."

The twin brother of Vladimir Efimkin, Alexander Efimkin burst onā€”ā€”to the professional cycling scene in 2005 with a 2nd place overall at the Settimana Ciclistica Lombarda, a highly competitive race. Since that time he has proven a competent professional racer, with few victoriesā€”ā€”to his name. In part this is owing to his service to the "stars of his team." And in part due to his relatively young age.
