Zdeněk Štybar (Czech pronunciation: [ˈzdɛɲɛk ˈʃtɪbar], born 11 December 1985 in Planá u Mariánských Lázní) is a Czech professional cyclist who rides for UCI ProTeam Omega Pharma-Quick Step.^[1] While best known as a Cyclo-cross racer, in 2011 Štybar began his professional Road career while continuing to race Cyclo-cross.

Following consecutive second places in 2008 and 2009, Štybar won the 2010 World Cyclo-cross championships in his home nation. In 2011, he won the World championships for a second time. In 2012 he pulled off a victory on the road by winning a stage in the Four Days of Dunkirk. In 2013, Štybar came in sixth in Paris–Roubaix. He was in contention for the victory as he was part of the leading trio with Sep Vanmarcke and Fabian Cancellara when he hit a spectator, causing him to slow down to clip in his pedals. He tried to get back to the two leaders, but to no avail.^[2] In August of the same year, Štybar took the overall victory in the Eneco Tour – part of the UCI World Tour – winning two stages in the process.^[3] Later that month, Štybar won stage 7 of 2013 Vuelta a España beating a world champion Philippe Gilbert.^[4] In 2014, Štybar won the World Cyclo-cross championships for a third time in a heated battle with defending world champion Sven Nys.^[5]
