Q&A with Ellen van Dijk 🇳🇱
What would she write a book about? 📚
Hello lovely subscribers! ✨
SO sorry that this is coming to you a lot later than usual this week! Substack was doing maintenance at the EXACT time I went to press publish. 🤦🏻♀️
This is the penultimate Q&A of 2022 and it’s a goodie: the one and only Ellen van Dijk!
A fixture at the front of the peloton, closing down breaks, stringing the bunch out, or in her natural habitat on a TT bike. She’s already world Hour Record holder and three-time world time trial champion, but what else would the 35-year-old like to add to her palmares? Find out below!
P.s keep your eyes out for next week’s Q&A answers from none other than Annemiek van Vleuten!
More Q&As are coming up from some exciting riders but we’ll be reaching out to more in the new year, so if you have a great idea for a question or someone to pose them to, drop us a comment!
Over to Ellen!

Q: If you had to pick a vintage season in women’s cycling, what year would it be? 📆
In 1984 the first Women’s Tour de France was held. My boyfriend made a podcast about it. I loved to hear about it.
