Charlotte made her debut with Team Picnic PostNL in 2022, progressing well as a rider, and a year later she stepped up from key lead-out member to the main sprint finisher of the team, resulting in a brilliant number of no fewer than 13 victories in the 2023 season.
Cycling wasn’t the Dutchwoman’s first love and instead she preferred two blades to two wheels, competing in speed skating to quite a high level. As she progressed and took speed skating more seriously, Charlotte dusted off her bike and used that initially as training during the summer. However, after joining a local club she entered a few races and fell in love – eventually making the choice to fully focus on cycling; something that was “the best decision of her life.”
