Major results

2016
In 2016, Aalerud had several strong performances in cycling. At the Norwegian National Road Championships, she won a bronze medal in the road race. She was also part of the Bryne CK team that won the team time trial. Aalerud then competed at the 2016 UCI Road World Championships, finishing 39th in the road race event. Later that year, she placed 13th in the youth classification and 28th overall at the Ladies Tour of Norway.[8] Aalerud continued her success in 2017 at the Internationale Thüringen Rundfahrt der Frauen in July, where she finished 3rd in the youth classification. She also participated in the 2016 European Road Championships, placing 21st in the time trial while finishing 8th in the under-23 category. Unfortunately, Aalerud did not complete the European Road Championships road race after crashing early in the race, which left her unconscious.[8]
2017
In 2017, she had a strong showing at the Norwegian National Road Championships, earning a silver medal in the grueling road race and a bronze in the time trial event. Building on this success, she was selected to represent Norway later that year at the prestigious UCI Road World Championships. Although she competed valiantly in the Worlds road race, she was unfortunately forced to abandon the race before reaching the finish line.
