Mihkel Räim (born July 3, 1993 in Kuressaare , Saaremaa ) is an Estonian cyclist .
Athletic career
Mihkel Räim comes from a cycling family: his father was a racing driver, runs a bike shop and is president of a cycling club. For over 20 years he organized a cycling race on the island of Saaremaa, Saaremaa velotuur, which is well known in Estonia . All of his uncles were also active as cyclists. In Räim's youth, cycling was not a particularly popular sport in Estonia, so that his father had problems getting him the right sportswear. Räim initially competed in local and national races. In 2010 he became Estonian junior road racing champion and won the Tour De La Région De Lodz.
In 2012, Räim started in the junior edition of Paris – Roubaix and finished twelfth. He was then invited to France to drive in the amateur team CR4C Roanne . In the following year he switched to Amore & Vita and won one stage of the Baltic Chain Tour . After being without a team in 2015, he moved to the Israel Cycling Academy in 2016 . In the same year he won the Tour de Hongrie , two stages of the Tour de Beauce and was Estonian road champion. In 2017 and 2018 he achieved further stage successes, and in 2018 he was again national champion in road racing. In 2019 he won the Tour of Estonia and at the beginning of 2020 a stage of the Tour of Antalya .
