Stage races One-day races and Classics Henricus Theodorus Josephus (Servais) Knaven (born 6 March 1971) is a Dutch professional road bicycle racer, currently sporting and technical manager for AG Insurance–Soudal–Quick-Step.

[2] As a rider, Knaven won Paris–Roubaix in 2001 in wet and muddy conditions that soaked the cobblestones.

With a strong representation of Domo–Farm Frites riders in the lead group, he launched an attack with 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to cover and crossed the line solo.

[3] He is the second rider in history to start and finish the Hell of the North race 16 times.

He escaped from a 10 men breakaway to take the win in a mostly flat stage concluding in Bordeaux.
