Jelle Vanendert (born 19 February 1985) is a Belgian former professional road racing cyclist, who last rode for UCI ProTeam {{UCI team code|BWB|2021b}}.{{cite web|url=https://www.uci.org/road/teams/TeamDetail/15251/1001655/280|title=Bingoal WB|work=UCI.org|publisher=Union Cycliste Internationale|access-date=4 January 2021|archive-url=https://archive.today/20210104180801/https://www.uci.org/road/teams/TeamDetail/15251/1001655/280|archive-date=4 January 2021}} He competed in a total of ten Grand Tours during his career. His younger brother Dennis Vanendert also competed professionally with the {{UCI team code|LTB|2015|nolink=yes}} team between 2012 and 2015.

Career

In 2011, Vanendert showed good form at La Flèche Wallonne, where he came sixth. He rode the Tour de France initially as the main climbing domestique for Jurgen Van den Broeck. However, when his leader crashed out of the race, Vanendert was given a free role, and on Stage 14 attacked from the group of GC contenders to win the stage. Vanendert finished 20th overall and also wore the King of the Mountains Jersey.

Vanendert was the leader of {{UCI team code|LTB|2012|nolink=yes}} in the 2012 Ardennes classics, and finished second in the Amstel Gold Race, fourth in La Flèche Wallonne and tenth in Liège–Bastogne–Liège.

In August 2021, Vanendert announced that he would retire from competition at the end of the season.{{cite web |url=https://www.rtbf.be/sport/cyclisme/detail_cyclisme-jelle-vanendert-prendra-sa-retraite-a-la-fin-de-la-saison?id=10828868 |title=Cyclisme : Jelle Vanendert prendra sa retraite à la fin de la saison |author= |date=24 August 2021|website=rtbf.be|language=French |trans-title=Cycling : Jelle Vanendert will retire at the end of the season |access-date=7 November 2021}}
