'''Dominique Rollin''' (born 29 October 1982) is a Canadian former professional cyclist.[{{cite web|url=http://www.uciworldtour.com/Modules/SUCI/TEAMS/TeamDetails.asp?id=MTI&RefDate=05.01.2013&MenuId=MTYzMDE&LangId=1&BackLink=%2Ftemplates%2FUCI%2FUCI2%2Flayout%2Easp%3FMenuId%3DMTYzMDE%26LangId%3D1|title=FDJ – FRA|accessdate=5 January 2013|work=[UCI World Tour](/source/UCI_World_Tour)|publisher=[Union Cycliste Internationale](/source/Union_Cycliste_Internationale)|archive-date=2 January 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140102191952/http://www.uciworldtour.com/Modules/SUCI/TEAMS/TeamDetails.asp?id=MTI&RefDate=05.01.2013&MenuId=MTYzMDE&LangId=1&BackLink=%2Ftemplates%2FUCI%2FUCI2%2Flayout.asp%3FMenuId%3DMTYzMDE&LangId=1|url-status=dead}}]
Born in [Boucherville](/source/Boucherville), [Quebec](/source/Quebec), Rollin began his professional career in 2001 with the team Sympatico High Speed-Jet Fuel Coffee and again the following year, 2002 with Sympatico Edition Haute Vitese. He then spent three years in France racing as an elite amateur under director-sportif [Guy Gallopin](/source/Guy_Gallopin) for the Roubaix team. After having issues with the way he was treated during Roubaix's transition to a professional team,[{{Cite web |url=http://reviews.roadbikereview.com/blog/dominique-rollin-bring-it-on/ |title=Dominique Rollin - Bring it on|date=11 February 2008|first=Lyne|last=Lamoureux |access-date=19 October 2009 |archive-date=24 July 2008 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080724201515/http://reviews.roadbikereview.com/blog/dominique-rollin-bring-it-on |url-status=dead }}] he returned to North America to ride for the [Kodakgallery.com - Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.](/source/Kodakgallery.com_-_Sierra_Nevada_Brewing_Co.) team.
For 2008 Rollin joined the [Toyota-United](/source/Toyota-United) team, with whom he won the Rochester Omnium and the fourth stage of the [Tour of California](/source/2008_Tour_of_California). He won the stage with a nearly seven-hour breakaway in a driving rainstorm, just holding off his fellow breakaway companions after attacking near the finish.[{{cite news|url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/feb08/california08/?id=results/california084|title=Rollin survives epic ride for epic win|work=Cycling News|publisher=Future Publishing Limited|date=21 February 2012|accessdate=14 October 2012|author=Mark Zalewski}}] Thanks to that performance, he grabbed the lead in the sprints classification and would defend the jersey successfully for the remainder of the race.[{{cite news|url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/feb08/california08/?id=results/california087|title=Hincapie redeems High Road|work=Cycling News|publisher=Future Publishing Limited|date=24 February 2008|accessdate=14 October 2012|author=Mark Zalewski}}]
In 2009 he got his chance to join a major European professional team in the Swiss-based, Canadian-sponsored {{UCI team code|CTT|2009}}, with his best result of the year coming at the Scheldeprijs semi-classic where he reached the podium with a third place. In October 2010, he signed for two years with the [ProTour](/source/ProTour) team {{UCI team code|FDJ|2011}}.
Rollin initially retired from racing at the end of 2013 after being unable to secure a contract for the 2014 season. However, in August 2014 {{UCI team code|COF|2014}} announced that they had signed Rollin alongside his former FDJ teammates [Nacer Bouhanni](/source/Nacer_Bouhanni) and [Geoffrey Soupe](/source/Geoffrey_Soupe) for 2015.[{{cite web |url=http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/transfers-cofidis-confirms-the-arrival-of-nacer-bouhanni |title=Transfers: Cofidis confirms the arrival of Nacer Bouhanni |last1=Farrand |first1=Stephen |date=1 August 2014 |website=[cyclingnews.com](/source/cyclingnews.com)|accessdate=3 August 2014}}]
