Jeroen Johannes Hendrikus Blijlevens (born 29 December 1971) is a retired road bicycle racer from the Netherlands, who was a professional rider from 1994 to 2004. He most recently worked as a directeur sportif for UCI Women's WorldTeam CCC Liv,[1] and has also worked as a cycling co-commentator at Eurosport Netherlands.
Nicknamed Jerommeke, he was one of Holland's leading sprinters in the 1990s, claiming a total of 11 stage victories across the three Grand Tours (Tour de France, Vuelta a España and Giro d'Italia). He won a total number of 74 races in his professional career.
The Liv Racing team sees a change in management as technical advisor Lars Boom, who was brought in this season to help with the inaugural Women's Paris-Roubaix before it was cancelled, will replace sports director Jeroen Blijlevens.
