Annemiek van Vleuten (born 8 October 1982) is a Dutch road racing cyclist, who rides for Mitchelton–Scott. In 2011, she won the UCI Women's Road World Cup. In 2018 she won both the points and the overall ranking in the Giro Rosa, considered the most prestigious stage race of the women's road cycling calendar.[1] Only two days later she took the crown at the fifth edition of La Course by Le Tour de France, a high-profile women's cycling race held in France, on 17 July 2018, prolonging her 2017 title.[2]

Career

Together with Ellen van Dijk, Marianne Vos and Loes Gunnewijk, van Vleuten represented The Netherlands in the Women's road race at the 2012 Summer Olympics, which was won by Vos.[3] She also competed in the 2015 European Games for the Netherlands, in cycling, more specifically, Woman's time trial. She earned a bronze medal.

On 7 August 2016, while leading the road race at the 2016 Olympic Games, van Vleuten crashed head first on the descent from Vista Chinesa after missing the brake timing of a sharp bend, 12 km (7.5 mi) before the finish.[4][5] The crash resulted in her being hospitalised with three lumbar spinal fractures and a severe concussion.[6] Though she was out of the race due to severe injuries, her team-mate Anna van der Breggen took home the gold medal for the Netherlands. Despite her injuries, van Vleuten was riding a bicycle within ten days of her accident[7] and made a winning return to competition one month later, taking the overall victory and two stage wins at the 2016 Lotto Belisol Belgium Tour.[8]
