Career
Born in Emmen, Lindeman has competed as a professional since 2009, and competed for the KrolStonE Continental Team and Cycling Team Jo Piels, before joining Vacansoleil–DCM in the second half of 2011 as a stagiaire. Lindeman remained with Vacansoleil–DCM after his stint as a stagiaire, having signed a two-year deal from 2012. In March 2012, Lindeman achieved his first victory with the team, by winning the Ronde van Drenthe; after initiating a breakaway with Guillaume Boivin (SpiderTech–C10), Lindeman out-sprinted Boivin for the victory.
Lindeman joined the Rabobank Development Team for the 2014 season, after his previous team – Vacansoleil–DCM – folded at the end of the 2013 season. He then moved to the senior team, LottoNL–Jumbo for the 2015 season. Lindeman took his first win for the team in the 2015 Vuelta a España, winning stage 7 from the breakaway. He was named in the start list for the 2016 Tour de France.
