Megan Arens (born 18 June 2007) is a Dutch professional cyclist who rides for Team Picnic–PostNL. She won the junior time trial at the 2025 UCI Road World Championships in Kigali.
Career
[edit]In 2023, Arens won gold in the time trial at the European Youth Olympic Festival.[2]
In 2025, her final year as a junior, Arens was successful in both one-day races, coming second in the junior versions of Ronde Van Vlaanderen and Gent-Wevelgem, and time trials, winning world and national junior titles.[3] Arens stated she focused primarily on time trials in training, as they had the shortest training sessions and she was busy studying for exams.[4]
