Henricus Theodorus Josephus Knaven is a Dutch professional road bicycle racer, currently a directeur sportif for Team Sky. As a rider, Knaven won Paris?Roubaix in 2001 in wet and muddy conditions that soaked the cobblestones. With a strong representation of Domo-Farm Frites riders in the lead group, he launched an attack with 10 kilometres to cover and crossed the line solo. His teammates Johan Museeuw and Romans Vainsteins followed, completing a rare 1-2-3. He is the second rider in history to start and finish the Hell of the North race 16 times. In 2003, while riding for Quick Step-Davitamon, Knaven won Stage 17 in the Tour de France. He escaped from a 10 men breakaway to take the win in a mostly flat stage concluding in Bordeaux.
