Dieter "Didi" Senft (born 1952 in Reichenwalde, Germany) is known as the Tour de France devil or El Diablo. Since 1993, he has been seen in the Tour's many stages wearing his red devil costume and painting a trifork on the road some miles before he'll show up. Senft attributes the inspiration for the costume to German cycling announcer Herbert Watterot who called the last lap of local criterium races, "the Red Devil's Lap."
He is also an inventor who has created over 100 bicycles, including the largest in the world. He is listed in the Guinness Book of Records.
He was again in the spotlight at Euro 2008 when he rode through Klagenfurt in his specially created "Football Bike" prior to the Germany vs Croatia Match.
