Loved racing on the gravel in Sweden! 145 km, 8 sections of gravel, & a technical course made for an action packed race from start to finish. We attacked all day and looked to create opportunities. A 10th place in the sprint for me doesn't reflect the effort the team put into the race, but we will the experience as motivation looking ahead to this week in Norway! ๐ธ๐ช๐ฒ . . . #gravel #VargardaWWT #adventureriding #Sweden #UCIWWT #creatingmemories #keepchallenging ๐ท@velofocus

@teamsunweb was on fire racing through the streets of London last night! ๐ฌ๐ง A strong leadout put @susanneandersen at the top of the sprint classification, and @corynrivera sprinted onto the final podium in 3rd!๐ฅ Unfortunately I lost a bit of skin in front of Buckingham Palace ๐ and couldn't be there for the final, but thankfully have no major injuries after hitting the ground. I hope all those involved in the final crash also heal up quickly ๐ท @velofocus . . . #getrichordietrying #ridelondon #london #creatingmemories #keepchallenging
Jumped into some fast and furious Dutch crit racing this week as preparation for @ridelondon! #AchtvanChaam was especially hard, as I was in a breakaway with these hitters, where we averaged 43 km/hr for 60 km, then attacked eachother to the line ๐ I learned that Dutch crit racing is not the same as the North American scene. There are 3 lap points races, 8 place primes & leader competitions. The courses vary in length, and crosswinds might even be a factor. These races are steeped in history as big crowds gather to drink & cheer, and look to spot their cycling heros ๐ดโโ๏ธ . . . #critracing #posttourcrits #holland #bikeracing #creatingmemories #keepchallenging ๐ท@daanvanoverveld1

On this special day, I am taking a moment to look to the past, but also one year into the future. Depending on final team selections, it could be my first time competing in Japan at the #Tokyo2020 Olympics. But as much as I am excited, I also know from past experience that every time you travel to a new region, you have to prepare for specific risks. When I was in New Delhi competing at the Commonwealth Games in 2010, air quality at the venue posed a challenge to health and performance. My advice: know the risks and always plan ahead to protect your health in every way possible. #DestinationJapan #partner

C'รฉtait une belle journรฉe! So happy to pull off a podium๐ฅ here in France at La Course by @tourdefrance! Superb teamwork all day helped give me the confidence to race fearless and go all in for the final sprint up that wall.

We fought all the way to the end of this @girorosaiccrea! 2nd๐ฅ on Stage 10 for @lucinda_brand & white jersey for @juliettelabous! ๐ฎ๐น Now where is the gelato?๐ฆ๐ . . . #girorosa #recoverytime #Italy #creatingmemories #keepchallenging
This @girorosaiccrea feels like nothing but an uphill battle! Stage 9 featured the 7th uphill finish of the tour. We put everything into helping @lucinda_brand fight for a podium position, but luck was not on our side as a mechanical at 400 m to go saw her running to the finish line. One stage to go and we will keep up the fight!๐ฎ๐น . . . #hardworkpaysoffeventually #mountains #girorosa #Italy #creatingmemories #keepchallenging ๐ท@tornanti_cc

Nice to debut the Canadian Sunweb kit at the @girorosaiccrea mountain ITT ๐จ๐ฆ๐ Gave my legs a bit more of a break with hard stages to come, but my teammates crushed it.

I โค racing in the mountains!๐ Fun to go on the attack on a crazy hard @girorosaiccrea Queen stage and support the team from the front of the race. Tried to stay with Annemiek as she caught me, but that climbing pace was next level๐ Super strong ride from @lucinda_brand to finish 2nd on the cyclocross gravel sprint up at Lago di Cancano. Also a great ride from @juliettelabous to extend her lead in the young rider classification. Five more stages to go!๐ฒ๐ฎ๐น . . . #mountains #breakaway #happinesswatts #Italy #girorosa #creatingmemories #keepchallenging ๐ท@velofocus
Stage 4 was a day for an all Italian break ๐ฎ๐น 5th place for me testing out the sprint legs behind. Queen stage today as we head back to the mountains!๐ตโโ๏ธ #girorosa #creatingmemories #keepchallenging
@girorosaiccrea stage 2 started and finished uphill! ๐ 3rd place for @lucinda_brand & @juliettelabous takes over the young rider jersey, so a good day for the team.

Today's TTT = ๐&๐ฅ #GiroRosa ๐ท@arne_mill
T-2 days to the #GiroRosa! This will be my 3rd time tackling the race. The first two editions brought some great memories as I had the honour to wear the pink jersey in both, first after a prologue win in 2016, and then in 2018 after a @teamsunweb TTT victory as we passed the jersey around the team. I'm sure the team will create a lot of new memories as we tackle the next 10 days in Italy! ๐ฎ๐น #magliarosa #creatingmemories #keepchallenging ๐ท@girorosaiccrea
