Eline Jansen (born 8 March 2002) is a Dutch professional speed skater and cyclist, who rides for UCI Women's ProTeam VolkerWessels Women Cyclingteam.[1]
As an infant, Jansen suffered from a hip condition requiring a pelvic osteotomy surgery, with her doctors considering it unlikely she would be able to walk.[2] She pursued speed skating from an early age, picking up cycling as additional training.[3]
Jansen transitioned fully from skating to cycling in 2024.[4] In her debut season as a professional with VolkerWessels Women Cyclingteam, she won the young rider classification at the Tour of Britain Women, earning a long-term contract extension until 2027.[4]
In 2025, after a strong classics season with five top 20 results in one-day races, Jansen won La Classique Morbihan in an uphill sprint finish[5][6]
