“I’ve always loved to ride my bike as soon as I learned how to ride it. A friend in my cross-country team told me she had a discount if I came to a training with her bike team. I did it with my hybrid bike and managed quite well. I learned how to clip over the weekend and next week I was back with a race bike.” ”

“There are so many! Individuals who manage to achieve success and are still hungry for more (Remco, Van der Breggen) or the ones that find the strength to move to the top and stay there for many years (Van Vleuten, Vos). I also look up to my mentor, Pascal Hervé, because I know his story and he inspires me in the everyday life.”
“The capacity of the human mind to adapt and surpass the once physical limitations.”
