Juan Mauricio Soler Hernández (born January 14, 1983, in Ramiriquí, Boyacá) is a Colombian former professional road bicycle racer, who last rode for UCI ProTour team Movistar Team.[1] He competed in the Tour de France for the first time in 2007, winning stage 9, having broken away on the Col du Galibier. He won that year's King of the Mountains title. Soler stated the stage win was "a victory from heaven. It is the biggest win of my life, and in my first Tour de France. I didn't think it would come so quickly."[2] He finished 11th overall that year. Soler had a career-ending crash in the 2011 Tour de Suisse.
