Leontine Martha Henrica Petronella (Leontien) Zijlaard-van Moorsel (Boekel, March 22, 1970) is a former Dutch cyclist and four-time Olympic champion with the nicknames: Tinus, Ties and the whopper of Boekel.

Van Moorsel was born as the daughter of a building materials dealer and a nurse. She started her cycling career in the late 1980s. She was so fanatical that she suffered from anorexia and was 'cycling to pieces' herself. After a long dip, she slowly returned to the sport and has since been one of the best cyclists in the world.[1] Van Moorsel won the Tour de France in 1992 and 1993. Van Moorsel ended her cycling career after the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens.

She was named Sportswoman of the Year six times: in 1990, 1993, 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2004. During the gala on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the KNWU, Van Moorsel (together with Joop Zoetemelk) was chosen as the best Dutch cyclists all time.
