Theo Bos is one of the most popular and richest Sport Cyclist who was born on August 22, 1983 in Hierden, Netherlands. Theo Bos (born 22 August 1983) is a Dutch track cyclist, Olympic silver medalist and five-time world champion who is currently a member of the UCI Track Team BEAT Cycling Club. A former road cycling participant, he is also cousin to Olympic silver medalist from speed skating Jan Bos.
On the 16th of December, in 2006 Bos ran the fastest world 200m record in the qualifying races for the race at a World Cup meeting in Moscow. Bos recorded 9.772 seconds (after an initial computer calculation predicted a record of 9.086 minutes) beating the record set 11 years ago by Canadian Curt Harnett. Bos said that the time of the 200m was to be the “ultimate record” for track cyclists. A few days later, Bos was named the Netherlands Sportsman of the Year. Bos’s record was overtaken by Frenchman Kevin Sireau at the Moscow Grand Prix on 29 May 2009 by 9.65 seconds.
On 19 April 2009, Bos was in a controversial crash in the final 800m of the final stage of the Tour of Turkey. Bos caused the crash of the eventual winner Daryl Impey by grabbing Impey’s left shoulder with his right hand. Impey crashed to the left, into the barrier, next to Bos. Bos admitted pushing Impey. Bos claimed the reason for pushing Impey was because Impey was moving in on him while he was already close to the fence. Bos was disqualified and fined. On 1 May 2009 the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) said “Bos’s behavior undermined the image, reputation and interests of cycling”. Bos was charged with an infringement and was brought before a UCI disciplinary hearing in which he was found guilty of violating UCI regulations. Bos was subsequently suspended from professional racing from 15 August through 14 September 2009.
In the off season before 2010 Bos signed with the Cervélo TestTeam, that included former Tour de France winner Carlos Sastre. He was touted as another addition to their sprint team. He raced in many smaller races, and some large ones including Paris–Roubaix and the Vuelta a España. When the Cervelo Test Team folded in late 2010, Bos returned to the Rabobank team, where he raced as a Continental. His first triumph of 2011 came in the first stage of the Tour of Oman, beating Mark Cavendish in a sprint finish.
He took home Silver at the 2004 Summer Olympics in the sprint event.
