Van der Haar won her first junior world title at the 2011 road world championships in Copenhagen. She was part of a late six-woman breakaway from the peloton and won the race comfortably in a sprint for the line.[8] A year later, she retained her title in a bunch sprint finish of 19 riders at the championships in Valkenburg, Netherlands,[9] having had a lead-out from Elinor Barker.
