Niels Scheuneman (born 21 December 1983 in Veendam) is a Dutch former professional road bicycle racer.

Biography

When Scheuneman was still a junior, won a silver and a bronze medal in the junior races of the 2001 UCI Road World Championships.[1] In the 2003 UCI Road World Championships, he competed in the U23 category, and finished second in the time trial.

Scheuneman transferred in 2004 to the Bodysol team, to become a full professional. The Bodysol team then merged with the Relax team, and the combination competed one lever higher, which did not suit Scheuneman, and he had a bad year.[2] At the end of the year, Scheuneman returned to the Template:Cycling data RAB team, where he rode as a junior.[3]

In 2005, Scheuneman rode the 2005 Vuelta a España, his only grand tour so far. During a fall which also hurt Roberto Heras, Scheuneman broke his finger and had to abandon the race.[4]

At the end of the 2006 season, Scheuneman's contract with Template:Cycling data RAB ended, and he switched to the Template:Cycling data COS team. This team was banned from most races in 2007, so Scheuneman did not race a lot. At the end of the season, he decided to retire from professional racing.

In 2008, he decided to return to racing, and joined the continental KrolStone team.[5]
