Jan Tratnik (born 23 February 1990 in Ljubljana) is a Slovenian cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Visma–Lease a Bike.[6] Professional since 2009, he has won the 2024 Omloop Het Nieuwsblad and a stage of the 2020 Giro d'Italia.[7] Tratnik is also a four time Slovenian national time trial champion and a one-time national road race champion.
Syuk is Jan's nickname which he got after his older brother, who was a basketball player.
With two newly-signed rouleurs – Paweł Bernas (Domin Sport) and Kamil Gradek (ONE Pro Cycling) – the team is expected to focus more on flatter stages and one-day races and play cards of Jan Tratnik, Jonas Koch, Frantisek Sisr or Alan Banaszek.
