Franciscus Albertus Antonius Johannes Maassen, known as Frans Maassen, is a Dutch former professional road racing cyclist and later directeur sportif, born on 27 January 1965 in Haelen in Limburg. He rode as a professional from 1987 to 1995 and started the Tour de France eight times, completing seven of them. His best-known day came in the 1990 Tour de France, when he was in the stage 1 breakaway at Futuroscope and won the stage, a move that shaped one of the most surprising Tours in years. He twice won the Tour of Belgium and took the 1994 Tour de Luxembourg, and from 2005 he worked as assistant directeur sportif of the Rabobank team.
