Madis Mihkels (born 31 May 2003) is an Estonian racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Intermarché–Wanty.[2] In 2023, he joined Intermarché–Wanty as a regular rider on a two-year contract after spending the late part of the 2022 season with the team as a stagiaire.[3]
In October 2023, Mihkels and Belgian rider Gerben Thijssen were pulled by their team from the Tour of Guangxi, after Mihkels made a racist gesture.[4] Mihkels pulled his eyes into slants, in a picture Thijssen posted on his Instagram.[5]
