Van Vleuten gets the path for her exceptional performance on the bike. This year she won the Giro d’Italia, the Tour de France Femmes and the Vuelta a España women. Mayor Sharon Dijksma thinks it is wonderful that another female sports hero is being honored in Utrecht. “We worship a lot of male sports heroes in Utrecht. Humphrey Mijnals, Anton Geesink, Marco van Basten and Wesley Sneijder. Of course we already have Dafne Schippers and now Annemiek comes with an achievement that no man has ever imitated. I think so myself very nice.”
