The gold medal made Van Dijk the second most successful rider in the history of the women's world championships behind France's Jeannie Longo, who won four titles between 1995 and 2001. "It was a really difficult course and I really didn't expect to win it, I didn't think it was the perfect course for me," said van Dyke, who claimed her first title in 2013. "But I just thought I've had a great year in the rainbow jersey and I'll just give it all today. I had no idea how I was riding. Honestly, I was so surprised when I crossed the finish line."
