Winning the Road Racing worlds with a broken elbow & the growth of female cycling - Annemiek van Vleuten

To say that Annemiek van Vleuten won it all is an understatement. The Dutch cyclist retired last season at the age of 41, having accomplished pretty much, well… everything in women's road cycling.In the coming years much will be written and spoken about Annemiek’s achievements - and in truth it would make a remarkable Hollywood blockbuster.Winning a world title with a broken elbow, overcoming illness and launching an outrageous solo attack to win the inaugural Tour de France Femmes, losing Olympic Gold due to a horror crash on a descent into Copacabana Beach in Rio… and that’s just for starters.Annemiek is a resilient force of nature and it’s our pleasure to reveal she’s also a fan of Just Ride! A listener to the first series, she was waiting patiently by the phone for her invite onto series two.Now embracing life in retirement, Rob and Eliot loved learning all about Annemiek’s life to date and her plans in the future.If you want to watch this full-length episode with Annemiek, Eliot and Rob then you can find it on Red Bull TV, and if you want to email the show then please hit us up at justride@redbull.com.We’ll see you in two weeks.
