Henk Faanhof (29 August 1922 – 27 January 2015) was a Dutch professional road bicycle racer from Amsterdam. Faanhof won one stage in the 1954 Tour de France.[1] In 1947 Faanhof was disqualified in the Dutch National Road Race Championship after changing bicycles with a teammate. The rule that bicycle changes were not allowed was new and Faanhof did not know about it. He also competed in three events at the 1948 Summer Olympics.[2] Faanhof died in Amsterdam on 27 January 2015, aged 92,[3] less than a week before two other members of the Dutch men's team pursuit squad, Gerrit Voorting and Joop Harmans.[4]
