Tanel Kangert (born 11 March 1987) is an Estonian former road bicycle racer, who competed as a professional from 2008 to 2022.

Early life

[edit]

Kangert was born in Vändra, Estonia. He attended kindergarten alongside fellow Estonian cyclist Rein Taaramäe.[5]

Career

[edit]

Kangert signed his first professional contract with Ag2r–La Mondiale in 2008, after riding with the team as a stagiaire in the 2007 season.[6] In the same year, he finished first in the Estonian National Time Trial Championships.[7] However, during 2008 he also suffered from severe pain in both of his knees, requiring surgery to allow them to move more naturally.[5] This forced him to race as an amateur during the 2010 season.[8]

In 2011, Kangert signed for the Kazakh team Astana.[8] In 2012, he won the final stage of the Tour de Suisse, beating Jérémy Roy in a sprint after the pair had attacked from a breakaway group earlier in the race.[9] In the same year, he also won the Estonian National Road Race Championships.[7] Kangert was one of Vincenzo Nibali's main domestiques in the 2013 Giro d'Italia, finishing in 14th position himself, after which it was announced he would sign a 3-year extension to his contract at Astana.[10] In 2016, Kangert finished second in the Giro del Trentino, two seconds behind Mikel Landa, after winning the final stage.[11] In October of the same year, he won the Abu Dhabi Tour ahead of Nicolas Roche.[12]

Kangert signed for American outfit EF Education First for the 2019 season.[13] He signed for Team BikeExchange on a two-year contract for the 2021 season, in support of Simon Yates who had recently extended his contract with the team.[4]
