Career
She finished sixth in the omnium, and was a member of the Dutch team that finished sixth in the team pursuit (together with Ellen van Dijk, Amy Pieters and Vera Koedooder).[1]
After two seasons with Team Hitec Products, in September 2016 Cylance Pro Cycling announced that Wild would join them for the 2017 season.[5]

On 3 August 2019, after coming first in the RideLondon Classique, she was disqualified after her sudden change of direction before the finish line resulted in a crash involving several riders.[7]
