Born in Amersfoort, Kelderman finished in seventh position in the general classification of the 2014 Giro d'Italia.[5] He broke his collarbone in the ensuing off-season while training.[5] He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France[6] and finished in ninth place in the opening individual time trial.[7] The following year he rode the Tour de France and placed 32nd overall.
Team Sunweb (2017–2020)
Kelderman moved to Team Sunweb for the 2017 season.[8] He finished in the top ten of the Vuelta a España in three successive editions, between 2017 and 2019.[9][10] At the 2020 Giro d'Italia, held in October due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Italy, he held the overall lead after stages 18 and 19, but lost time to Tao Geoghegan Hart and Jai Hindley; as a result, he finished in third overall.[11]
Bora–Hansgrohe (2021–2022)
Kelderman joined the Bora–Hansgrohe team in 2021 on a two-year contract.[12] He recorded top-five overall finishes at the Volta a Catalunya, the Critérium du Dauphiné and the Tour de France in his first season for the team.[13][14][15] In his second season, he finished third at the Circuito de Getxo.[16]
Team Jumbo–Visma
In August 2022, it was announced that Kelderman was to join Team Jumbo–Visma from the 2023 season, on a three-year contract.[17] In his first season with the team, he finished in fourth place at the Tour de Suisse,[18] and was a part of Grand Tour successes for Jonas Vingegaard at the Tour de France,[19][20] and Sepp Kuss at the Vuelta a España.[21]
