Julie's Bio

Julie Van De Velde, originally from Bruges, discovered her passion for cycling thanks to her sporty mother. With a background in athletics, she transitioned to cycling in 2016 after an injury. That same year, she earned her degree in physiotherapy from KU Leuven and spent a few years balancing her work as a physiotherapist with her budding cycling career.

Her professional career highlights include an impressive solo breakaway in the Tour de France and a podium finish in the Tour of Scandinavia. These achievements boosted her confidence and drive. Since joining AG Insurance - Soudal, Julie has felt at home in a team that values her talent and fosters a supportive, familial atmosphere.

Julie is a fierce and reliable asset to the team. Her determination and hard work have already resulted in standout team performances, including Justine Ghekiere’s Le Tour victory, with whom she forms a strong tandem in the peloton. Excelling in challenging climbing stages, Julie sees herself as a versatile rider: a dependable teammate in tough races and an adventurous competitor in breakaways. Outside of cycling, she treasures family cycling trips, which provide her with energy and joy.
