Mees Hendrikx (born 8 August 2000) is a Dutch cyclist, who currently rides for UCI Cyclo-cross team Crelan–Corendon.

Career

Hendrikx was a promising junior rider, winning the junior race at the Grand Prix Nommay, part of the 2017–18 UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup where he finished third in the overall classification with four podium finishes in 7 races. After a disappointing, injury-riddled winter season in 2018-2019 he couldn't find a team. As an independent rider, he achieved more success in the next cyclo-cross season, culminating in his selection for the Dutch team for the 2020 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships in Switzerland, where he won the bronze medal in the U23 category.

In the 2021–2022 season, he won his first U23 World Cup race with the Cyklokros Tábor in the Czech Republic. He also won the overall U23 World Cup, having finished 3rd in the three other races. He finished 9th in the Duinencross Koksijde, an elite World Cup race, and was third in the Dutch cyclocross championships, and first of the U23 riders.
