Yves Lampaert (born 10 April 1991) is a Belgian professional road racing cyclist, who rides for UCI WorldTeam Soudal–Quick-Step.[3]
Lampaert practiced judo from the age of six, earned a black belt, but at the age of 17 started training in cycling.[4]
He rode at the 2014 and 2015 UCI Road World Championships. He was named in the startlist for the 2016 Vuelta a España.[5]
Lampaert won the 2017 Dwars door Vlaanderen, a local race for him,[6] after he soloed away to the victory after making the race-defining split along with teammate Philippe Gilbert, Alexey Lutsenko from the Astana team, and Orica–Scott's Luke Durbridge.[7] Lampaert attacked with 7.5 kilometres (4.7 miles) remaining and ultimately won the race by 39 seconds ahead of Gilbert.
Lampaert won Stage 2 of the 2017 Vuelta a España after he broke clear of the peloton in strong winds with three kilometres to go with three Quick Step teammates, Niki Terpstra, Julian Alaphilippe and Matteo Trentin. Lampaert then attacked to take a solo victory and by doing so he gained the race leader's red jersey.[8]
In 2018, Lampaert won Dwars door Vlaanderen for the second year in a row, becoming the first rider to win the race in consecutive years.[9] In July 2018, he was named in the start list for the 2018 Tour de France.[10]
Lampaert won the first stage of the 2022 Tour de France, ahead of Wout van Aert and Tadej Pogačar.[11] In July 2025, Lampaert extended his contract with Soudal Quick-Step for a further two seasons, keeping him with the team until the end of 2027 in a road captain and mentoring role.[12]
