Stijn Devolder (born 29 August 1979 in Kortrijk, West Flanders) is a Belgian professional road bicycle racer. He rides for UCI ProTeam Vacansoleil-DCM, having ridden for US Postal between 2004 and 2007 and Quick Step from 2008 to 2010. Devolder won his first professional race at the 2004 Four Days of Dunkirk, winning stage 4. His most prestigious victories are the 2007 and 2010 Belgian National Road Race Championships, the 2008 and 2009 Ronde Van Vlaanderen, and the 2008 and 2010 Tour of Belgium. Devolder is a competent climber but his strength lies in the individual time trial. Devolder led the Quick Step squad in the 2008 Tour de France but fell off the back and almost immediately stepped off his bike on the Ascent of the Col Agnel.
