Van Vleuten rules the world
Season 10, Episode 135, Oct 06, 2022, 08:30 AM
Rose Manley, Orla Chennaoui and Lizzy Banks return to give their impressions of this year's thrilling World Championship road race, which saw Annemiek Van Vleuten snatch the rainbow jersey and gold medal in the final moments.
Van Vleuten took to the start line with a fractured elbow – sustained only a few days prior to the the race – and looked to be on super domestique duty for the Dutch team. But an opportunistic move when she rejoined the leading group within the last kilometre saw her take her second World Championships road race title.
Van Vleuten has ruled the world this season – adding the rainbow jersey to victories in the Giro, Tour and Vuelta, plus Liège-Bastogne-Liège.
In this episode, we hear from the newly crowned time trial champion Ellen van Dijk about taking her title, rooming with Van Vleuten and becoming a Netflix heroine. And the winner of the inaugural under 23 title Niamh Fisher-Black talks about an emotional race for her and her fight to even make it to the start line of the race.
