Chantal Beltman (Den Haag, Holland) 31

Chantal is one of the most experienced riders on the team and also a very calming influence on everyone. Her professional attitude has taken her far in cycling where she has won stages in almost all the major stage races on the circuit and taken wins in both Sweden and Rotterdam World Cup races. Coming from the land of hard classics, these are her specialty and her goal throughout the year. She is also the perfect teammate and is instrumental in every win with her tactical prowess and selfless attitude. She has also been a key teammate in the Olympic gold and World Championship gold medals of her National teammates over the years. Her goal for '08 is to have another successful season with the team and to make the Olympic Team.
