Floortje Mackaij

Despite only being 24 years old, Floortje is now into her seventh year with Team Sunweb and is one of the more experienced riders on the roster. In 2019 she continued her development, improving her abilities on the climbs, taking a memorable second place at Liège-Bastogne-Liège.

“It was so cold and raining heavily but it was really good to finish the day off with a podium spot in Liège. I think I’m still a classics rider, but I can be there when there is a bit of a hilly finale. Living in Monaco now, I am climbing a lot and I’ve definitely noticed an improvement because of that.”

Grateful for the opportunity to ride her bike professionally, Floortje loves being able to explore new places and enjoys taking in the nature and scenery when out for a ride. Although, she jokingly admits that it is not as nice when the weather is bad.

Floortje likes the team aspect of the sport with everyone willing to work for each other towards one common goal and is unphased when she gets the opportunity to lead herself.

“It is nice to see that when someone who is working for you is performing really well, so you then happily do that for them too and return the favour; it is really nice to win with each other. I feel a little pressure when others are working for me but if I am in good shape then it gives me an extra motivational boost too.”

While not riding her bike Floortje likes to chill and enjoy her downtime as much as possible. Her and her boyfriend Dylan have an interesting hobby; they like going to the supermarket regularly.

“Dylan and I really enjoy going to the supermarket. We can go to there for a few hours and make some fun out of it. It is nice to see what is new, what’s there and I really like to do that. Everyone thinks we are stupid for it, but we enjoy it.”
