Niki Terpstra (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈniki ˈtɛrpstraː]; born 18 May 1984) is a Dutch racing cyclist with UCI ProTeam Quick-Step Floors. He is the brother of fellow racing cyclist Mike Terpstra.
Niki Terpstra was born on 18 May 1984 in Beverwijk in the Netherlands. He was part of the silver medal winning team in the team pursuit in the 2005 UCI Track Cycling World Championships, together with Levi Heimans, Jens Mouris and Peter Schep. With a 4th place in the Three Days of De Panne followed by a 14th place at the 2008 Tour of Flanders, young Terpstra showed signs of considerable talent. In 2009 Terpstra won the 3rd stage in the Critérium du Dauphiné Libéré, gaining the yellow leader jersey at the same time, keeping it for a day.
In 2012, Terpstra took a prestigious victory at the Dwars door Vlaanderen, winning in solo fashion after being on the attack all day. He detached himself from the break on the Oude Kwaremont with Jelle Wallays of Topsport Vlaanderen–Mercator. He dropped Wallays on the Paterberg and finished the race with an advantage of 47 seconds over Frenchman Sylvain Chavanel.
