• TOUR OF CALIFORNIA - STAGE 3: Another hard day with over half the stage climbing. Survived in the front group to get ready for the lead out and was in great position for Leah but unfortunately dumped my chain with 200m to go 🤦‍♀️ But have to give a serious SHOUT OUT to all my family, friends, and fans for all the support and cheers ❤️ I love racing in southern California. Can there be a World Tour race in California every weekend? Thank you to the team, staff, family staff, and the race for a memorable weekend 🙏 Already can't wait for next year! . . . . . 📸: @jeffclarkphotographs

  • TOUR OF CALIFORNIA - STAGE 2: As brutal as this stage is, I literally had so much fun on the bike giving my all to the team trying to get in a break before Mt Baldy and hearing all the cheers along the course while my legs were fully cramping. 🤪 Having trained on these roads since I was 11 years old I know it like the back of my hand and bombed all the descents, as short as they were. If only the race course went the other direction! One more stage to go! Seriously thanks for all the cheers and support out there folks! Love racing at home aka SOCAL!!! ❤️ . . . . . 📸: @xacs

  • TOUR OF CALIFORNIA - STAGE 1: Simply didn't have good enough legs for it today. 🙅 Was fighting in the wind and the climbs but it just proved to be too much for me on the final climb(which was somehow the sprint line also)🤷‍♀️. It was anyways an amazing day as I could feel the California love from my family, friends, and fans! 🌞❤️ Another stage tomorrow... 🏔️🏔️🏔️ . . . . 📸: @jeffclarkphotographs

  • SPRING CLASSICS CAMPAIGN: I think my face says it all. 😑 I came into the season with good winter preparations, motivation, and patience. Opened up the year in Valencia with a couple top 5s and a podium. But when it comes to the spring classics everything needs to be perfect, the slightest nuance can derail the campagin...getting sick twice missing Het Nieuwsblad and having subpar performance at Binda and also crashing twice in one week during the Belgian holy week of Gent-Wevelgem and Flanders is not ideal 🤧💥. Along with that 3 DNFs which I absolutely hate to do but there are times when you have to be realistic and do what is best for you and the team⛔. In the end, I can't say I was super stoked on my spring. But as always huge thanks to the girls and staff because I do know that we all worked hard and tried our best this spring and I'm happy we were able to close it out on a good note at Liege.🌞Taking some rest here at home in California and happy to be with my family and under the sun while I recover, reset, and rebuild for the summer. 💪🏾 With the cherry on top racing @amgentoc @amgentocwomen in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA for the first time ever for the women! ❤️ Hope to see you out there cheering!

  • BASTOGNE-LIÈGE: My first time starting this new monument for the @uci_cycling Women's World Tour @uci_wwt . Not only is the parcours already difficult, but the weather changed back from summer to winter within a week. Haven't found a crisp photo of myself, but luckily found this one with the sun peeking out for a moment on one of the hardest parts of the course climbing La Redoute. Happy to give my all to the girls as early support again and to finish this monument for myself. Floortje and Lucinda ended our spring classics campaign with an awesome 2nd and 5th!!! But also with 100% teamwork behind it with Liane getting us tea in the first hour, Juliette following dangerous breaks, and Leah in the break of the day.

  • AMSTEL-GOLD RACE 🍻 Happy Easter Sunday from my other family to yours! 🐰🐣 Nice to start the day together and take part in one of the most beautiful (and difficult) races of the year. The crowds in Limburg were amazing and supportive today! Unfortunately the day was littered with bad luck and with the classics it's not luck that you need, but the least amount of bad luck. Onto Flèche-Wallone on Wednesday....

  • BRABANTSE-PIJL: 3rd 🥉 That feeling when you get into the best situation for the win, the team goes all in, and you blow it. 😑 Not the best feeling, but it is part of sport. Proud of the girls as we raced aggressive from the start and eventually bridged to a break with Floortje that Leah was already in and was without the race favorite, Vos. Kept the group going and motivated but in the sprint I jumped too early on a slight uphill finish and got passed. At least my best result this spring so far, but still sitting here hungry for more. 🥩 . . . . . 📸: @robindulaing

  • DE RONDE VAN VLAANDEREN: 🇧🇪🦁 My bad luck streak continues unfortunately🙅. Didn't want to abandon with a bum elbow after crashing on the Lange Munte. But on the bright side, it's not broken! And lucky to have family and friends here to take care of me ♥️. Pre and post crash @teamsunweb was riding well as a team and we can be really proud of that, even if my race was cut short 💪. Nice to have some extra time to recover and I will be ready for the next one. Thanks everyone for the messages and checking in... Noggin is all good and body is sore, but give it time and I will be fine! 😎

  • TROFEO ALFREDO BINDA: Unfortunately it's rare that the results reflect the amount of effort put into the teamwork. 💃💃💃The girls and I had really good teamwork as we were going deep in the commitment of the plan yesterday in Italy.🇮🇹 It's was an exciting final as the girls chased down the break in the final kilometers and made contact in the final corner. I was coming in hot and thought I had a clear line to the finish, but got boxed in and lost my speed to finish 8th. That's bike racing sometimes. We're still hungry and we'll keep fighting 🍕💪

Girls went all in, put the pressure on, won the intermediate sprint with @susanneandersen , I countered directly after, @jannekeensing got in a break that set her up for a strong 5th place, and I positioned @floortjemackaij for the final climb up the wall of Xorret De Catí...4km long, average 11% with pitches up to 22% 🤯😱 Big day with lots of sweat and teamwork but happy to crawl our way to the finish line with these 2 young monsters. #groupetto #partygroup #1stagetogo
