Tour de France Femmes 2024 💛

The @letourfemmes will start in the Netherlands, in Rotterdam, which is very close to where I was born and started with cycling. ☺️

Many of my family and friends live around Rotterdam and The Hague, so it will be very special to see them along these ‘home roads’. 🥹

We also ride from Valkenburg to Liège, covering many roads where we already made special memories. Liège-Bastoigne-Liège is also the race closest to my heart and it will be very special to race on the finale parcours of this race. 🤩

And as a little girl, I dreamed of racing on the Alp d’Huez. So far I haven`t been there yet and we haven`t raced there yet. But this will change and dreams can come true! 🙏🏼

I can`t wait until next years Tour de France Femmes 💛

Vélo d’Or 2023 🙏🏼

Last evening I was honored with the Vélo d`Or for my performance last season.

I am proud, humbled and thankful to have won the Vélo d’Or 2023.

Big thanks to my teammates and staff of @teamsdworx and to my trainer @annavdbreggen (and also the ones from earlier days), to our sponsors and to all the people who supported me throughout the season.

And to everyone out there:

“If the universe put a dream into your heart, it has every intention for you to make it happen.

So go after your dreams.

Don’t let anyone tell you, you can’t do it. Go after it and believe in it with whole your heart.”
