Who is Koen de Kort?
Koen de Kort is a Dutch professional cyclist. Born in Gouda, De Kort grew up in Liempde in Noord Brabant. From 2002 to 2004, he was in the development team of the Rabobank cycling team. De Kort had a promising amateur career with wins in the Under 23 version of Paris–Roubaix. In 2005, he became professional with the ProTour team Liberty Serguros-Wurth of Manolo Saiz. That year he won a stage in the 2005 Tour de l'Avenir. In 2007 De Kort joined the Astana. Following the positive tests for heterologous blood doping by team members Alexandre Vinokourov and Andrey Kashechkin, Astana did not have much chance to compete in 2007 and was limited in 2008. Speaking to Dutch media, De Kort expressed his frustrations at not having the chance to compete after being in a similar situation in 2006 with the Liberty Serguros team. He left Astana at the end of the 2008 season, and joined the Skil-Shimano team.
