About Fem van Empel
Van Empel started cycling and cyclo-cross at the age of eight. Ten years later, she became the U23 world champion cyclo-cross. The Dutch talent made a name for herself with victories in the World Cup of Val di Sole 2021 and Flamanville 2022. In the cyclo-cross season '22/'23, there was no stopping Van Empel. She won race after race and even became the European and World champion.
