Florian Vermeersch (born 12 March 1999) is a Belgian professional racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam UAE Team Emirates XRG.
Career
Lotto–Soudal (2020–2024)
On 1 June 2020, Vermeersch was promoted from the team's under-23 development squad. Formerly, Vermeersch competed in cyclo-cross, in which he was highly successful. While being a professional cyclist, he is studying history at Ghent University. In 2021, he placed third in the UCI Road World Under–23 men's time trial. At the 2021 Paris–Roubaix race, which had been postponed from April due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he got into the early breakaway of around 30 riders and ultimately finished second to Sonny Colbrelli and ahead of Mathieu van der Poel in a three-man sprint in the velodrome.
Vermeersch sustained a broken femur in a crash during his first race of 2024 at the Vuelta a Murcia on February 10. The accident occurred on the descent of Alto Collado Bermejo, and forced him to miss the Spring Classics.
UAE Team Emirates XRG (2025–)
On April 24, it was announced that Vermeersch is set to join UAE Team Emirates on a multi-year contract beginning from the 2025 season. The official signing is pending due to UCI transfer regulations.
