Podium Cafe, Sarah Connolly, 2 April 2013
Gepost door: Bitossi

I first interviewed Marijn de Vries for Podium Café in October 2010. She had just finished her first season as a pro, having given up her demanding career in television to see if she could seriously become a pro cyclist in her 30s, documenting her journey on her blog. Since then, her journey has only got more interesting. She’s written a book, Vrouw & Fiets, expanded her journalism, commentated the Worlds for Dutch tv – and in the meantime her riding has gone from strength to strength. This season she’s moved to Lotto Belisol, and had her best World Cup results yet – including 8th place in the freezing Ronde van Drenthe. I caught up with her after the Ronde van Vlaanderen, and we talked about how things have changed in her cycling and her life, Frozen Eyeballs, the upcoming Energiewacht Tour, and much more.
