“Everyone has had their good days and bad days and what’s important is how you react and learn from them.”

What inspired you to ride?

I first started to ride a bike for speed skating because it was necessary for our training in the summer. It wasn't until I saw the London 2012 Team Pursuit women race on TV, and win Bronze, that I thought about how fun it could be to do competitively.

Racing obstacle you overcame?

I was 24 years old when I started cycling and this was the biggest obstacle in becoming professional because I had lacked so much experience that a cyclist already has at that age.
