Annemiek van Vleuten announces pregnancy
Retired Dutch pro Annemiek van Vleuten has announced that she is pregnant and expecting her first child in September.
The multiple world champion, prolific stage racer and two-time winner of the Tour of Flanders, Strade Bianche and Liège-Bastogne-Liège scored a total of 104 wins across a career that spanned a decade and a half, after coming to cycling later than usual in her mid 20s. Van Vleuten retired near the top of her game at the end of 2023, but has never been far from the cycling scene with regular appearances throughout the pro women's calendar. [Van Vleuten via Instagram]
