Career
editIn 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]
Arens signed a professional contract with Team Picnic–PostNL in October 2025, just after the world championships.[1]
