Gert Jakobs (Emmen, April 29, 1964) is a former professional cyclist from the Dutch province of Drenthe who competed in the Tour de France five times with the PDM team and finished the race four times. He finished 145th, 136th, 140th, and 127th in 1988, 1989, 1990, and 1993, respectively. He did not finish the 1987 Tour. Jakobs was regarded as a top domestique. For years, he set up the sprint for his teammate Jean-Paul van Poppel. In 1984, Jakobs competed alongside Maarten Ducrot, Erik Breukink, and Jos Alberts at the Summer Olympics in the United States. The quartet managed to finish fourth in the 100-kilometer team pursuit.

Jakobs was not only active as a cyclist but also competed in marathon speed skating, where he won five races. In 2009, in Mart Smeets’ book *Het laatste geel*, he admitted to using EPO during the 1989 Tour de France. EPO was not yet on the list of banned substances in 1989, so he did not violate anti-doping rules by using it.

For several years now, Gert has also been a regular panelist on the RTL program *Tour du Jour*.
