History

edit

Shirin van Anrooij started out riding cyclo-cross in the 2010s, winning the junior race at the 2020 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships, as well as the National Junior Championship. In November 2022, she won her first race in the UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup, surprising the "Big Two" Fem Van Empel and Puck Pieterse to form what is now often referred to by commentators as "The Big Three".[6] She came third overall in the 2022–2023 World Cup season. In February 2023, van Anrooij became the under 23 Cyclo-cross world champion.[7]

On the road, van Anrooij joined the Lidl–Trek team in 2020 as a stagiaire. In 2022, she took the young rider classification at the 2022 Tour de France Femmes, and won the time trial at the Dutch National Under-23 Championships. At the 2022 UCI World Under-23 Championships in Wollongong, Australia, she took a silver medal.[7]

In 2023, van Anrooij won her first major road race, winning the Trofeo Alfredo Binda - Comune di Cittiglio.[8]
