Unfortunately not a good day for me. I could not push the power I can do normally. No excuses, just was not having a good day.
My support team was the best!
Danke Erik Zabel @canyon and Edwin van Vught @speedbar.nl
Not my best day. Was not due to my support team thanks Edwin&Erik @canyon_bikes Congrats to @AnnavdBreggen for strong TT and @ellenvdijk also for strong comeback after being sick.
As a child I watched always the Tour. Tomorrow one of my hero's of those years will coach me. 🤗Big honour. Tomorrows 'support team Annemiek' will be Erik Zabel @canyon_bikes and @Carbonreparatie #goodduo 💪
Will be last rider as defending 🇳🇱 champ.
15.01 PM start ...29km TT.
When your words get 100% turned around 🤣👇😱 @NielsGoudriaan can tell what I really said in this interview @lukascph ! @Cyclingnewsfeed ! I race always to try to win races, not to gain points for a jersey (that also takes away attention for teamsponsors) ...https://www.cyclingnews.com/news/van-vleuten-worldtour-jersey-is-more-important-than-winning-a-race/
Think I recharged the batteries here @picmaiamountainhotel after a hard block of racing and training with some hard&fun times 👇😎.
In 6 days I will test my legs @NKWegwielrennen
Wednesday 19th time trial
Saturday 22th road race at our famous 'hill of trash' : ...'VAM berg'. 🤣
Y'day great last 6h day with partner in crime @KatrineAalerud Discovering new roads is the best and Andorra surprised me!
Key for me to stay motivated is to keep a good balance between having fun and hard training sessions. #trainhard #enjoyhard #resthard #refuelhard

Yesterday great last day with my partner in crime @aalerud94
Have been a great 3 weeks of training here in Andorra. Discovering new roads is the best. Yesterday we went on an adventure style 6h training with some off road gravel roads recommended by @robertgesink
Key for me to stay ...motivated is to keep a good balance between having fun and hard training sessions. Another reason why @aalerud94 is a good partner in crime in this approach of training:
