Gert Steegmans (born 30 September 1980 in Hasselt) is a Belgian former professional road bicycle racer who last rode for UCI ProTeam Lidl–Trek.

During the second stage of the 2007 Tour de France, a Liquigas rider fell sideways in the last 3 kilometres causing others to fall.

The agreement called for any rider who tested positive for a doping substance to pay a fine of five times their annual salary.

Steegmans persisted in his refusal even after an ultimatum handed down by the team, which resulted in his not being selected for Katusha's Tour de France squad.

[8] Steegmans is married to former runway model and Tour de France podium girl Laura Leturgie,[9] and they have one child, daughter Maélya (born on 6 June 2011).
