Jonas Abrahamsen (born 20 September 1995) is a Norwegian professional road racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam Uno-X Mobility.[2]

Career

[edit]

After taking part in the 2023 edition, Abrahamsen rode for Uno-X in the 2024 Tour de France. He led the Mountains classification after the first stage, being the first Norwegian to do so,[3] and held the jersey until Stage 11.[4] He also led the Points classification during the opening stages.[5]

Personal life

[edit]

After seeking to be as light as possible as a young rider, leading to under-eating, Abrahamsen deliberately gained 20kg. This led to him going through delayed puberty. He has since spoken out regarding the dangers of eating disorders.[6]
