The Marianne Vos Route goes through the seven villages of Aalburg, where I grew up, and celebrates my World and Olympic titles with a number of benches along the route, where you can stop and rest your legs. You'll see the white windmill in Meeuwen and, in Babylonienbroek, a statue of the silver bike I rode to celebrate my Olympic track win.

From Marianne Vos

I want to be motivational and inspirational for everybody: my big aim is more women on bicycles.

From Marianne Vos

I like to sit down, relax, have a cup of coffee on the terrace and read a book. I like to travel the world - and I'm lucky to see so much through cycling.

From Marianne Vos

My big objective this season is to win three gold medals at the Olympics, in the road race, the time trial and the points race.

From Marianne Vos

From Marianne Vos

I'm from Holland, and I'm used to rain.

From Marianne Vos

There can be crowd issues everywhere in cycling. But it's a good thing for cycling that it's so accessible for spectators. That's why it's so popular - because fans can get close to the road and the race. But you also have to be aware of the dangers.
