Annemiek Van Vleuten has re-signed with Orica-AIS, with the former Tour of Flanders winner impressing during her first season with the team.
“My first year with ORICA-AIS was a great experience. The professionalism and atmosphere in the team is something that suits my drive and motivation and the way I want to achieve my goals,” the 33-year-old said in a statement released by her team.

“One of my best personal experiences this year was preparing for the Dutch national time trial with help of Pat Ryan our team mechanic. I won the 30kilometre event with an average speed of 48.2kilometres/hour. I never thought I would be able to ride so fast.”
The former Bigla and Rabobank rider has enjoyed a successful career, taking several stage races, including the Lotto Belisol Belgium Tour twice (2014 and 2016) as well as La Route de France in 2010. She has also won three stages in the women’s Giro d’italia, the last of which came in 2015. This season she has been a consistent performer in both stage races and the one-day Classics.
“We are very excited to have Annemiek back with us for 2017,” sport director Gene Bates added.
