John-Lee Augustyn (born August 10, 1986 in Kimberley) is a South African professional road bicycle racer for UCI Professional Continental team Barloworld.

Tour de France 2008

During Stage 16 of the 2008 Tour in his second professional year, John-Lee crested Col de la Bonette in first place before shortly and spectacularly overshooting a hairpin bend on the descent. He was thrown from his bike, sliding 30 metres down the shale mountainside before recovering to complete the stage.
