Eri Yonamine

Eri Yonamine (與那嶺恵理, Yonamine Eri; born 25 April 1991) is a Japanese former professional racing cyclist, who rode professionally between 2016 and 2024 for seven different teams. Her thirteen professional victories came entirely at the Japanese national road championships – seven Japanese National Road Race Championships titles and six Japanese National Time Trial Championships titles – while she also won three medals at the Asian Games.

Yonamine only switched from tennis to cycling when in college at the University of Tsukuba, and quickly achieved success in Japan, coming in second in both the Japanese National Road Race Championships and the Japanese National Time Trial Championships in 2012 at age 21. The next year, she won both the national road race and time trial championships. In the spring of 2016, she signed a short-term contract with the American UCI team Hagens Berman–Supermint, and later repeated her victory in the national time trial. Yonamine was selected to represent Japan in the 2016 Summer Olympics.
