Jos Hoevenaers

Jos Hoevenaers (30 November 1932, in Antwerp – 14 June 1995, in Wilrijk) was a Belgian cyclist, reputed for his attacking style.

In 1960, he wore the pink jersey of leadership for eight days in the Giro d'Italia; however, Jacques Anquetil won instead. Bad luck, as well as inadequate time-trialling and sprinting, stopped Hoevenaers' becoming the best Belgian Tour rider of his generation.
