Charles "Charly" Wegelius (born 26 April 1978 in Espoo, Finland) is a British former professional road racing cyclist.
Never a winner of a professional race individually, Wegelius nevertheless made a career out of being a reliable and strong domestique, most notably in the mountains.
Wegelius started his career in France, riding for the Vendée U team managed by Jean-René Bernaudeau, thanks to the influence of former pro Graham Jones.
He won a number of races in his first season, including beating Sandy Casar, who was the brightest prospect in the local area.
His biggest result was winning the Under-23 section of the Grand Prix des Nations, after which Le Télégramme reported that Wegelius was one of the most promising riders of his generation.
Wegelius' cycling aspirations suffered an early setback, after being injured in an accident involving an all-terrain vehicle, which resulted in his spleen being removed and the news that he would never cycle again.
Wegelius was educated at Bootham School in York from 1989 to 1994.
Wegelius has a wife, Camilla, and two sons.
He recovered, however, and had his first professional break in 1999, when he rode as a stagiaire for the ill-fated Linda McCartney Racing Team.
Wegelius raced in Italy for a succession of teams between 2000 and 2009.
Wegelius participated in the cycling at the 2002 Commonwealth Games, where he finished 5th in the individual time trial and 28th in the road race.
Wegelius took part in his first Grand Tour, Mapei's last, at the 2002 Vuelta a España.
After the team's sponsor pulled out at the end of 2002, Wegelius moved to the smaller De Nardi team, which raced on the Italian domestic scene.
They were invited to the Giro d'Italia in 2003 and 2004.
Wegelius competed in every Giro d'Italia between 2003 and 2010, and successfully supported Di Luca to victory in 2007, which was ironically the only Giro Wegelius failed to finish.
He also started the road race at the 2004 Summer Olympics, but failed to finish.
In 2004, Wegelius notably helped Serhiy Honchar to an unexpected second place, often driving the leading group up the difficult mountain stages.
Wegelius was involved in controversy in 2005 when he and teammate Tom Southam chose not to ride to protect Roger Hammond, their team leader, in the World Championship road race, and instead took instructions from the Italian team for a fee.
Wegelius later repaid the costs associated with his participation in the event, and was never selected to represent his national team again.
He later said that he regretted the incident.
Having previously ridden in the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España, Wegelius made his Tour de France début in the 2007 edition.
He received a call-up to participate in the 2009 Tour de France as a replacement for Thomas Dekker, who was ruled out following a positive drug test.
Wegelius also began the 2010 Tour de France.
However, much to his disappointment, he had to pull out after suffering from a sickness.
It was his last participation in the Tour de France, as he retired after the 2011 Giro di Padania.
Following his retirement, he joined the then Garmin–Cervélo team as Directeur sportif.
Wegelius is the son of Christopher Wegelius, a Finnish former banker and the most successful show jumper ever to have represented Finland.
His mother was English-born Elizabeth Jane Murray.
Wegelius moved, as a small boy, with his mother, to England.
