Laurens De Vreese (born 29 September 1988) is a Belgian former professional road bicycle racer who last rode for UCI ProTeam Alpecin–Fenix.[4] De Vreese was the 2010 Belgian national champion for the road race for riders under 23 years of age, winning the title in Hooglede.[5]

Career

[edit]

Born in Ghent, De Vreese has competed as a professional since the start of the 2011 season, riding as a member of the Topsport Vlaanderen–Mercator squad. At the 2012 running of Liège–Bastogne–Liège, De Vreese was one of a number of riders to be disqualified from the event as a result of taking a short-cut.[6]

De Vreese left Topsport Vlaanderen–Baloise at the end of the 2013 season and joined Wanty–Groupe Gobert for the 2014 season.[7] Subsequently, in August 2014, Astana announced that De Vreese had signed a one-year deal with the squad for 2015.[8] He was named in the startlist for the 2017 Vuelta a España.[9]
