Jasper Ockeloen (born 10 May 1990 in Dordrecht) is a Dutch cyclist, who rides for Dutch amateur team Sockeloen Cycling Club.[1]
He is the founder of Sockeloen, a company that designs and makes cycling socks, and of the Sockeloen Cycling Club as a means to promote mountain bike marathons and beach racing.[2] Those two disciplines have races where professionals and amateurs can ride together and bond. He himself was introduced to beach racing by his girlfriend Riejanne Markus, a professional cyclist.[3]
In 2021 Ockeloen followed the tyretracks of Laurens ten Dam and participated in Unbound Gravel. He had a flat tyre and a problematic reparation, early in the race. After a lot of overtaking he finished in 10th place.[4] A year later Laurens ten Dam, Thomas Dekker, Ivar Slik and Ockeloen returned for a whole month of gravel races in the US. Ockeloen won Gravel Locos solo and came third in Rule of Three.[5][6][7] Later that year Ockeloen won a bronze medal in the Dutch national championships gravel race.[8] These results moved Canyon to give him a professional contract for 2023.[9]
