**Bobbie Traksel** (born 3 November 1981 in [Tiel](/source/Tiel)) is a Dutch former professional [racing cyclist](/source/Racing_cyclist).[1] In 2000, Traksel showed considerable promise by winning the Under-23 version of the [Tour of Flanders](/source/Tour_of_Flanders_U23) and turned professional in 2001 with [Rabobank](/source/Visma%E2%80%93Lease_a_Bike_(men's_team)). In 2002, Traksel's surprise win at the [Veenendaal–Veenendaal](/source/Veenendaal%E2%80%93Veenendaal) showed his speed and bicycle smarts. But Traksel's achievements in 2008, highlighted by winning the [Driedaagse van West-Vlaanderen](/source/Driedaagse_van_West-Vlaanderen) garnered him wider respect in the cycling community. In 2010 he won [Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne](/source/Kuurne%E2%80%93Brussels%E2%80%93Kuurne) after a long breakaway. The race was heavily influenced by the weather. Many favourites retired from the race due to the cold weather, rain and wind. Traksel proved himself as a real fighter with this win.

Traksel joined An Post–Chain Reaction for the 2014 season,[1] after his previous team – [Champion System](/source/Champion_System)[2] – folded at the end of the 2013 season.
