At 33 Marianne Vos has won just about every title and award in cycling there is, on Sunday the seven-time Cyclocross World Champ added another with her first win in her ‘home’ race Amstel Gold.

The Spring Classics may be wrapping up, but Sunday’s racing might have topped them all.

Current World Champ Lucinda Brand (Trek Segefredo) might have been the race’s most aggressive rider, launching multiple attacks and take huge pulls at the front.

If you haven’t seen the nail-biter classic, watch two sets of highlights here:

Vos, just 33, keeps piling on to her case of being the greatest bike racer ever. She began riding bikes at the age of six, started racing at eight, and has won titles in road, cyclocross, track, and time trials. Early on she participated in speed skating and inline speed skating before turning to mountain biking.

She’s got a fast finishing kick and it’s helped her to countless victories:

The win was Vos’ first at Amstel Gold.

At 19 she was World Champion in both cyclo-cross and road racing. She has been multi-time Dutch road champion, six-time Dutch cyclocross champion, three-time Dutch track champion, two-time European cyclo-cross champion, European road champion, seven-time World cyclo-cross champion, three-time World road champion, Olympic gold medalist in both road and track, three-time Giro Rosa winner, the list goes on, and on.

It’s no wonder she has earned the nickname of the “Cannibal”!

In the exciting bunch sprint finale, Vos took the win with Demi Vollering of Team SD Worx in second and former world champion and current European champion, Annemiek van Vleuten – Movistar Team in third, making it an all-Dutch podium.

Vos’ early celebration before the finish line could have provided Vollering a chance after redemption after her premature celebration on Wednesday at Brabantse Pijl, but she ran out of real estate. For a brief moment, the surprise on Vos’ face looked to be one of regret.

Amanda Spratt – Team Bike Exchange was fourth.

Former Cyclocross World Champ Thalita de Jong finished 38th, while former USA Cycling Cyclocross Champ Coryn Rivera finished 26th.
