Annemiek van Vleuten (born 8 October 1982) is a Dutch road racing cyclist, who rides for Orica–AIS. In 2011, she won the UCI Women's Road World Cup.

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.[1] 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.[2][3] The crash resulted in her being hospitalised with three lumbar spinal fractures and a severe concussion.[4] Though she was out of the race due to severe injuries, her fellow athlete Anna van der Breggen took home the gold medal for the Netherlands.

Palmarès

Van Vleuten won the 2014 Dutch Time Trial Championships, only 0.02 seconds ahead of Ellen van Dijk.
