Van den Broek-Blaak was the Dutch national junior time trial champion in 2006 and 2007. She was European under-23 road race champion in 2009 and was also third in the Ronde van Drenthe race of the UCI Women's Road World Cup in that year.
Van den Broek-Blaak began her professional career in 2008 with the Dutch AA-Drink Cycling Team and remained with them until they disbanded at the end of 2012, after which she raced for the US team Team TIBCO–To The Top for a year.
In 2014, she joined Specialized–lululemon and won her first UCI Women's Road World Cup race, the Open de Suède Vårgårda.
She transferred to the Boels–Dolmans team for 2015, along with sponsors Specialized Bicycle Components and lululemon Athletica and teammate Evelyn Stevens.[5] She won the 2015 Le Samyn des Dames.
2016 was her most successful season to date, yielding wins in Le Samyn des Dames, the Ronde van Drenthe, Gent–Wevelgem and the Holland Ladies Tour.
In 2017, van den Broek-Blaak became both Dutch national and world road race champion after she successfully broke away from an elite group of riders 8 kilometres (5.0 miles) from the finish.[4] In the rainbow jersey, she won the Amstel Gold Race in 2018.[6]
