Cian Uijtdebroeks (born 28 February 2003) is a Belgian road cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Visma–Lease a Bike.[2] Uijtdebroeks is considered to be a very promising talent, and has been compared to Remco Evenepoel.[3]
He made his professional debut in 2022 and won the Tour de l'Avenir.[4] He would also make headlines at the 2023 Vuelta a Espana where he finished eighth overall in his grand tour debut. In December 2023 he signed for Team Jumbo Visma for a four year deal until 2027, but his current team, Bora–Hansgrohe, would dispute this, saying that he was contracted through 2024 with the team.[5] Eventually, the parties reached an agreement[6] for Cian to ride with Team Visma-Lease a Bike in 2024.
