Wilco Kelderman (born 25 March 1991) is a Dutch professional road bicycle racer who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Bora–Hansgrohe.[3]
Professional career[]
Kelderman at the 2015 Tour de France, his first race after winning the Dutch National Time Trial Championships.
Born in Amersfoort, Kelderman finished in seventh position in the general classification of the 2014 Giro d'Italia.[4] He broke his collarbone in the ensuing off-season while training.[4] He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France[5] and finished in ninth place in the opening individual time trial.[6] The following year he rode the Tour de France and placed 32nd overall.
Kelderman moved to Team Sunweb for the 2017 season.[7] He finished in the top ten of the Vuelta a España in three successive editions, between 2017 and 2019.[8][9] At the 2020 Giro d'Italia, held in October due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, he held the overall lead after stages 18 and 19, but lost time to Tao Geoghegan Hart and Jai Hindley; as a result, he finished in third overall.[10]
Kelderman joined the Bora–Hansgrohe team in 2021 on a two-year contract.[11] He recorded top-five overall finishes at the Volta a Catalunya, the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France in his first season for the team.[12][13][14]
