van Dijk
Ellen van Dijk is renowned for her time trial ability and is one of the world’s best in the race against the clock. She won the World Championship individual time trial for the second time in 2021, a memorable victory after eight years of trying to reclaim the coveted rainbow jersey. She also captured an unexpected win in the road race at the European Championships and will have the honor of wearing the esteemed jersey in 2022. Ellen also excels in tough one-day classics, winning the Tour of Flanders, Dwars door Vlaanderen twice, and finished third in Liège-Bastogne-Liège. 2022 will be Ellen's 17th professional season, and she is not showing any signs of slowing down.
