Jens Keukeleire can’t remember a time when he didn’t ride a bike. He is Belgian and cycling is Belgium’s national pastime. His earliest cycling memory is going to the Alps with his family to watch the Tour de France. Since then, he has raced across Europe and beyond, so perhaps it isn’t a surprise that he can’t pick just one favorite place to ride. He counts the Dolomites, the Ardennes, and the cobbles of Roubaix among his favorites. A strong classics racer with a fast finishing kick, Jens has twice won the Tour of Belgium and has a Vuelta a España stage to his name. When he’s not off racing, you’ll find Jens at home in Bruges with his wife and two young sons. Jens’s work ethic and experience is invaluable to our team.
