	Leontien van Moorsel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leontien van Moorsel (born March 22, 1970, Boekel) is a Dutch cyclist.
		Van Moorsel started her professional career in the late 1980s, and soon was one of the best cyclists in the world.
		Van Moorsel was chosen as Dutch Sportswoman of the year in 1990, 1993, 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2004.

	CNN/SI - Cycling - Van Moorsel wins elite cycling time trial - Thursday October 14, 1999 08:11 PM
		Van Moorsel, who stayed away from cycling from 1994-95 with health problems, confirmed her status as one of the sport's greats by covering the relatively flat road course of 25.85 kilometers (16 miles) through and around cloud-covered Treviso in 32 minutes, 31.87 seconds.
		But Wilson, a Commonwealth Games champion, handled the tight turns in the race's middle portion smoothly, and van Moorsel had to bear down in the closing stretch to add this title to last year's triumph, her 1991 and 1993 road race championships, and a track pursuit crown from 1990.
		Van Moorsel could add yet another world championship to her impressive resume in Saturday's 97.5-kilometer (60.45-mile) road race at Verona, and she said she will inspect that route Wednesday.

		Van Kasteren is owner of VKS and became the sponsor.
		Instead, van Moorsel possesses enormous versatility; she can win on the track and is the current holder of the world record for the 3KM individual pursuit set in Sydney last year.

	Zijlaard-Van Moorsel fends off strong pursuit from Aussie newcomer
		Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel wasn't sure what to think when she lined up against Katie Mactier to successfully defend her title in the women's individual pursuit final at the world track cycling championships on Friday.
		Van Moorsel said that while she was concerned by Mactier's performance in qualifiers and the semi's, once on the track she could only follow her own plan and ignore the rider on the other side of the track.
		Van Moorsel has already set aside time in October to attempt an assault on Jeannie Longo-Ciprelli's mark of 45.094km, but she adds, too, that she may have to better her own world pursuit mark of 3:31.816 to fend off an Olympic charge from Mactier.

		In the same week as Doctor MÃ©gret made his claims on the prevalence of eating disorders within cycling, Leontien Zijlaard-Van Moorsel, having suffered from anorexia earlier in her career, announced that she is opening a halfway house for eating disorder sufferers.
		In 1992 and 1993, Van Moorsel won the challenging women's Tour de France as well as becoming world champion in 1993, however at the end of 1993, she began to suffer health problems as a result of being too thin and was forced to retire from the sport at the peak of her success.
		Van Moorsel has since come back from that challenging time in her life and proved that she can still be at the best in the sport without putting her body through that strain again, and is now actively helping other young people avoid the mistakes she made.

		The first stage went okay for the team with Leontien Zijlaard-van Moorsel clipping off and winning it with Sara Waller in 19th the leading GB rider.
