Jonas Abrahamsen (born 20 September 1995) is a Norwegian professional road racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Uno-X Mobility.[2]
Abrahamsen turned professional in 2014 with Motiv3 Pro-Cycling Team, before moving to Team Øster Hus–Ridley six months later. He returned to club level in 2015 with Grenland SK, the squad he had ridden for as a junior. In 2016, he signed with Team Ringeriks–Kraft, which he has remained with since. In 2017, he won the L'Étape du Tour cyclosportive.[3] In 2020, he took his first UCI level win on stage two of the Tour of Malopolska.
In 2023, he competed in the Tour de France, his first Grand Tour, where he finished third on stage 18 from the breakaway.[4]
The following year was a breakthrough season for Abrahamsen, finishing second in the Dwars door Vlaanderen in March.[5] In early June, he took his first pro win at the Brussels Cycling Classic, winning by four seconds after attacking four kilometers from the finish.[6] A week later, he finished second in the Dwars door het Hageland. In July, he again rode for Uno-X in the Tour de France. He led the Mountains classification after the first stage, being the first Norwegian to do so,[7] and held the jersey until Stage 11.[8] He also led the Points classification during the opening stages.[9]
During the 2025 Tour de France, Abrahamsen won the 11th stage in Toulouse after a 155 km breakaway, as well as the Combativity Award.[10]
Personal life
After seeking to be as light as possible as a young rider, leading to under-eating, Abrahamsen deliberately gained 20 kg. This led to him going through delayed puberty. He has since spoken out regarding the dangers of eating disorders.[11]
