Annemiek van Vleuten is a Dutch former professional cyclist who is widely regarded as one of the most successful cyclists of all time. In her impressive career, she achieved a total of 104 professional victories.
She became a world champion four times. Her road title in 2019 was secured after a legendary solo of 105 kilometers. During the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, she won the gold medal in the individual time trial and silver in the road race. In 2022, she won the Tour de France, Giro, and Vuelta all in one year and became world champion that year with a broken elbow.
Van Vleuten’s career was marked by extreme highs and deep lows. During the Olympic road race in Rio de Janeiro (2016), she was on course for gold when she suffered a heavy crash ten kilometers from the finish. What seemed like a low point became the starting point for her best years as an elite athlete.
