Janneke Ensing (born 21 September 1986) is a Dutch former sportsperson, who competed in speed skating in the 2000s before becoming a cyclist, competing for seven different teams between 2009 and 2021.
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
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 (2014 and 2015) as well as second in the 2016 Dutch National Road Race Championships and second in the 2017 Santos Women's Tour. She retired from cycling after the delayed 2021 edition of the Ronde van Drenthe, which passed through her hometown of Gieten.[5]
