René Jørgensen (born 26 July 1975) is a former road bicycle racer from Denmark.

Career

[edit]

He rode for the Danish professional cycling team, home–Jack & Jones, which he joined in 1998. He left the team, which by that time had changed the name twice; 2000 season to Memory Card – Jack & Jones and from 2001 to CSC – Tiscali after the 2001 season, where he decided to join another Danish team: EDS-Fakta. The team changed its name to Team Fakta, and he rode for the team until it closed in 2003. He went to the Italian team Alessio–Bianchi, which, however, also closed, at the end of the 2004 season. In 2005, he signed with the South African team, Barloworld, which he represented for a single season, before he returned to Denmark to ride for the UCI Continental team, Team Designa Køkken, with whom he remained with until the end of 2010.
