Biography

After two seasons in the amateur ranks, Vansummeren turned professional with Relax–Bodysol in 2004.[1]

Although Vansummeren's role is primarily that of a domestique, he competes as a team captain during the classic season.[3][4] In 2011, Vansummeren won the biggest race of his career, Paris–Roubaix.[5][6] Vansummeren won the race after escaping from three other riders with 15 kilometres (9.3 miles) remaining, winning by nineteen seconds at the velodrome in Roubaix.[7][8] He was victorious, despite riding the final 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) with a flat tire.[7][9]

Vansummeren signed with AG2R La Mondiale for the 2015 and 2016 seasons.[10]
