Kristijan Đurasek (born 26 July 1987) is a Croatian professional road bicycle racer. He has been competing since 2005, and currently rides for the UCI World Tour team UAE Team Emirates.[1][2] He represented Croatia at the 2012 Summer Olympics finishing 68th in road race.

Professional career

Perutnina Ptuj (2006–2008)

Đurasek started racing for Slovenian continental team Perutnina Ptuj in 2006, but his professional career only started in 2008. At the time he did not have much success in international races. He competed for Perutnina Ptuj for three years during which he won five medals at the Croatian road cycling championships.

Loborika (2009–2011)

Đurasek signed a contract with Croatian continental team Loborika at the beginning of 2009.[3] In 2011, he won his first UCI Europe Tour race at the GP Folignano. Two days later he repeated his success by winning the Trofeo Bastianelli.[4] During those years he won three more medals at the Croatian road cycling championships including both national titles at the 2011 championships.

Adria Mobil (2012)

In 2012, Đurasek competed for continental team Adria Mobil. His most notable results were third place in the GP Industria & Artigianato di Larciano, seventh place in the Giro dell'Appennino and third place in the Passo della Bocchetta stage in the Giro di Padania. He competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics as a late replacement for Robert Kišerlovski, who was injured on the 14th stage of the Tour de France.[5][6] He finished 68th in the road race, 40 seconds behind the race winner Alexander Vinokourov.

Lampre-Mérida (2013–)

At the end of the 2012 season, Đurasek signed a contract with Lampre–Merida for the 2013 season. As a result, he became the third Croatian cyclist ever to ride for a UCI ProTeam.[1][7] His first UCI World Tour race was Paris–Nice, where he finished 80th overall. His first victory was in the Tre Valli Varesine on 23 August 2013. At the end of the 2013 season Đurasek competed at the World Championships in men's road race, but he failed to complete the race. He finished 7th overall at the 2014 Tour of Turkey, 45 seconds behind the race winner Adam Yates.

In 2015, Đurasek awarded himself the leader's jersey of the Tour of Turkey on the sixth stage featuring a hilltop finish, taking the lead from Davide Rebellin.[8] He went on to win the race in the general classification, scoring a historic result for Croatian cycling.[9] In the Tour de Suisse, he won the second stage by attacking a leading group of eight other riders, putting four seconds into them.[10] He was named in the start list for the 2015 Vuelta a España.[11]
