Lindsay De Vylder

Lindsay De Vylder (born 30 May 1995) is a Belgian cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam . He represented Belgium at the 2020 (as a reserve) and 2024 Summer Olympics where he finished 7th in the men's team pursuit but a disappointing 10th in the men's madison at the side of Fabio Van den Bossche.

Career Without a single family member or fan to witness, De Vylder won his first international title when he became European junior champion in the Omnium at the 2013 European Track Championships (under-23 & junior) in Anadia, Portugal finishing with an equal points total as Italian rider Riccardo Minali but having posted better time trials.

The Sangalhos National Velodrome in Anadia, Portugal holds good memories for De Vylder as four years later, in 2017, he won his second European title, teaming up with Robbe Ghys to win the under-23 madison at the 2017 UEC European Track Championships (under-23 & junior) on said velodrome.

He won multiple medals at the senior level in the men's madison taking the silver and the bronze at the side of Fabio Van den Bossche at the 2024 UCI Track Cycling World Championships resp. 2022 UCI Track Cycling World Championships and another silver at the side of Kenny De Ketele at the 2021 UEC European Track Championships.

A couple months after the disappointment in the men's madison at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, France, he became a track cycling world champion winning the gold medal in the men's omnium at the 2024 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Ballerup, Denmark. A year later, at the 2025 UCI Track Cycling World Championships in Santiago, Chile, having already won a bronze medal in the men's omnium, he won his second world title, winning the gold medal in the men's madison with teammate Fabio Van Den Bossche.

Personal life De Vylder tried his hand at other sports like football and Judo before he turned to cycling. His parents, seeing this as an expensive sport, tried to discourage him but eventually gave in and bought him a second-hand bike when he was 11.
