Rien Schuurhuis

Rien John Schuurhuis (born 12 August 1982) is a Dutch-born Australian road cyclist and industrial design engineer who competed for the Vatican City in the 2022, 2023 and 2024 UCI Road World Championships. He was the first cyclist and athlete who represented the Vatican City as a regular scoring competitor.

Biography Schuurhuis was introduced to cycling at a young age saying he "could ride a bike before I could walk," due to the cycling culture of the Netherlands. He moved to Rome in 2020. Schuurhuis and Porro have two children, Thomas and George.

Schuurhuis started competing internationally for teams such as Oliver's Real Food Racing and Blank Inc Cycling Team under a Dutch sporting nationality. Schuurhuis did not meet the time cut or receive a place in any of the four international races in which he competed for the Vatican.

After Porro's appointment ended in 2024, Schuurhuis returned to representing Australia.
