Jelle Johannink (born 22 October 1996) is a Dutch professional racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam Unibet Rose Rockets.
Career
Johannink was born into a farming family in Denekamp.[3][4] After playing football, he turned to cycling at the age of seventeen, beginning his career with OWC Oldenzaal. As an amateur cyclist, he balanced competition with work on his parents' farm.[3]
Between 2017 and 2022, he rode for the Sensa–Kanjers voor Kanjers club. With this team, he excelled mainly in Dutch races and in various editions of the Arden Challenge. He also finished second in the Oder-Rundfahrt in July 2022, while also winning a stage. That same year, he became the Dutch amateur champion.[5]
In 2023, he joined the UCI Continental team ABLOC CT. A strong road sprinter, he won two local races in the Netherlands. He also finished third in a stage of the Tour of Qinghai Lake, fourth in a stage of the Flèche du Sud, tenth in the Arno Wallaard Memorial, and fifteenth in the Dutch National Road Race Championships. Thanks to these performances, he turned professional in 2024 with UCI ProTeam TDT–Unibet Cycling Team.[3]
In early 2026, he finished second in the Visit South Aegean GP behind Bryan Coquard.[6]
