Career

From 2014, Langvad and her Swiss Spur-Specialized teammate Ariane Kleinhans won the women's category of Absa Cape Epic three consecutive times. In 2015, they won by a significant margin of an hour and 18 minutes. Langvad won the Cape Epic a total of five times during her career. Also in 2015, Langvad won the Leadville 100, becoming the first woman to ride that race under 7 hours. In 2016, Langvad won the world championship in Women's cross-country and also placed second in the UCI World Cup rankings for Cross Country, only 24 points behind the leader, Catharine Pendrel. She went on to finish as runner-up in the cross-country World Cup standings a second time in 2018. On the road, she won the Danish road race championship in 2010, was a three-time Danish time trial champion, and finished sixth in the 2013 individual time trial World Championship. She rode the 2019 season on the road with Boels–Dolmans, during which she finished second at Strade Bianche, fourth at the Amstel Gold Race, and third at Flèche Wallonne. On 9 October 2020, she announced her retirement.
