Annemiek van Vleuten's palmares is too long and varied to do justice in an introductory paragraph. She is one of the most decorated cyclists out there, having won (to pick a handful of results), the Tour de France Femmes, The Giro d'Italia Donne three times, gold and silver at the Tokyo Olympics, Strade Bianche twice, Flanders twice, Liege twice... getting the picture yet?

Van Vleuten has also graced the top step of the podium at the World Championships too, twice in the time trial, and twice on the road. As such she gets treated to a one-of-a-kind, world champions edition paint job for her 2023 race bike. Most riders dream of having just one of those in a career, so to have now had four is pretty spectacular - We wonder if the fourth is still just as special? Luckily for you, we've got a gallery of it from Opening Weekend so you can, to some extent, see for yourselves.

Will joined the Cyclingnews team as a reviews writer in 2022, having previously written for Cyclist, BikeRadar and Advntr. He’s tried his hand at most cycling disciplines, from the standard mix of road, gravel, and mountain bike, to the more unusual like bike polo and tracklocross. He’s made his own bike frames, covered tech news from the biggest races on the planet, and published countless premium galleries thanks to his excellent photographic eye. Also, given he doesn’t ever ride indoors he’s become a real expert on foul-weather riding gear. His collection of bikes is a real smorgasbord, with everything from vintage-style steel tourers through to superlight flat bar hill climb machines.
