Van Vleuten: I'm not afraid of anyone at Liege-Bastogne-Liege

Annemiek Van Vleuten says that she doesn’t fear anyone going into Sunday’s Liège-Bastogne-Liège Femmes. Boels Dolmans has been the dominant force in recent weeks, with Anna van der Breggen two for two during the Ardennes Classics, but Van Vleuten says that doesn’t worry her in the slightest and that her Orica-Scott team has more than enough talent to out-gun the Dutch squad.

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
