Janneke Ensing (born 21 September 1986) is a Dutch former cyclist and speed skater, who last rode for UCI Women's WorldTeam Team BikeExchange.[4] Prior to becoming a cyclist, Ensing specialised in short and middle distance speed skating. In 2002, she was the Dutch national C-junior champion. Two years later she won a bronze medal as a B-junior. At the 2007 KNSB Dutch Single Distance Championships Ensing finished 10th over 1500 metres. She also represented her country at the 2007 Winter Universiade held in Turin where she won the gold medal at the team pursuit together with Moniek Kleinsman and Diane Valkenburg. In 2010, Ensing finished fifth in the KNSB Dutch Allround Championships.
Cycling career[]
Ensing started riding a bicycle in the summer as a means of cross-training before starting to compete in cycle racing. She initially continued speed skating alongside bike racing in order to earn money.[5] During her career, Ensing focused on cycling to a greater extent, resulting in two runner up places at Gent-Wevelgem (2015 and 2016) as well as second in the Dutch National Championships of 2016 and second in the 2017 Santos Women's Tour. She retired from cycling after the delayed 2021 edition of the Ronde van Drenthe in October of that year, which passed through her hometown of Gieten.[5]
