Silke is one of those rare athletes who isn’t afraid to attack and give it her all. Her resilient attacks at the Giro Women and the Tour de France Femmes have thrilled our fans and beyond and her second-place finish at the Tour Down Under in 2025 is one of her standout performances. The rider from the Netherlands is also a loyal teammate in the challenging stage races. Silke is still early in her career and is developing quickly with each passing season and we are sure that she will be able to give a great show in the future.
