Tanel Kangert (born 11 March 1987) is an Estonian former road bicycle racer, who competed as a professional from 2008 to 2022.
Early life
Kangert was born in Vändra, Estonia. He attended kindergarten alongside fellow Estonian cyclist Rein Taaramäe.[1]
Career
Kangert signed his first professional contract with Template:Cycling data ALM in 2008, after riding with the team as a stagiaire in the 2007 season.[2] In the same year, he finished first in the Estonian National Time Trial Championships.[3] However, during 2008 he also suffered from severe pain in both of his knees, requiring surgery to allow them to move more naturally.[1] This forced him to race as an amateur during the 2010 season.[4]
In 2011, Kangert signed for the Kazakh team Astana.[4] In 2012, he won the final stage of the Tour de Suisse, beating Jérémy Roy in a sprint after the pair had attacked from a breakaway group earlier in the race.[5] In the same year, he also won the Estonian National Road Race Championships.[3] Kangert was one of Vincenzo Nibali's main domestiques in the 2013 Giro d'Italia, finishing in 14th position himself, after which it was announced he would sign a 3-year extension to his contract at Astana.[6] In 2016, Kangert finished second in the Giro del Trentino, two seconds behind Mikel Landa, after winning the final stage.[7] In October of the same year, he won the Abu Dhabi Tour ahead of Nicolas Roche.[8]
Kangert signed for American outfit Template:Cycling data EFD for the 2019 season.[9] He signed for Template:Cycling data MTS men on a two-year contract for the 2021 season, in support of Simon Yates who had recently extended his contract with the team.[10]
