Wouter Mol (born 17 April 1982 in Nibbixwoud[4]) is a Dutch former professional road racing cyclist, who rode professionally between 2004 and 2016.

One tradition of the Tour Down Under is that the fans choose an unknown rider and treat him the way they would a star, by mobbing him at hotels and painting his name on the road.

The rider must be a non-English speaking domestique who most likely will not get a start at a major race and will simply act as a bottle carrier.

For 2012, Vacansoleil–DCM rider[5] Mol was chosen.
