The reigning European road champion has 35 podiums on the road this season with her SD Worx-Protime team. She won a fourth Ronde van Drenthe on home soil, captured the victory at Gent-Wevelgem, swept all three stages for the GC win at RideLondon Classique, won five of six stages for the GC title at Baloise Ladies Tour and was second in the points classification at the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift.
