168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lorena Wiebes (Team DSM) will be a marked woman on the opening sprint stage of the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, but sheℱ is confident about her chances at victory.

A win on the Champs-Élysées, hallowed ground for sprinters, is a big goal for the Dutch rider, and brings with it the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:chance to wꦺear the first yellow𒊎 jersey of the race, but the competition is tough.

“For sure, Elisa Balsamo, Marianne Vos, Lotte Kop🌼ecky and Emma Norsgaard [are favourites]. We are coming here for one goal,  and that is to win,” Wiebes said. “The pressure is on, bꦉut that's fine.”

Wiebes has already recorded 14 wins this season, including four in last week’s Baloise Ladies Tour. As well as Wiebes’ impressive turn of speed, her success is aওlso a result of Team DSM’s disciplined lead-out train.

Most of Wiebes’ key helpers have been select🍷ed for the Tour, with Pfeiffer Georgi and Charlotte Kool ready to repeat𒊎 their proven-effective efforts.

“We have a really strong lead out and we are very used to each other,” she said. “I think we can do a really great job tomorrow on the Champs-&Eacu🉐te;lysées. I'm really looking forward to it. We have one of the strongest lead outs here, so I think it will be a nice battle tomorrow.”

Many riders in the peloton will have experience racing the Pa🍒ris circuit from when it hosted La Course, but Wiebes – who w🐠as still a junior the last time La Course was in the capital – has not. However, she has done her homework.

“I watched some videos from the men's racing,&rdq🔯uo; she said. "It's interesting how they do it, especially forꦐ us, and our DS Albert [Timmer] was also there racing as a lead out for the men's team a few years ago. We are prepared for it.

“The timing is really important for the sprint because it's a long and straight road. We have a team for that and can time it good. The speeds will be high, a chaotic day, but we hav𓆉e the team for it.”

As o💖ne of the most successful sprinters in the peloton, Wiebes will alಞso be a contender for the green jersey, though she says stage victories are her initial priority.

“It depends how the day is going, but the biggest focus is on stage wi🧸ns,&rdq🍸uo; she said. “I have to see how my legs are feeling but the green would be nice to take home.

“There are🥂 some intermediate sprints tomorrow, but we won't want to risk going for those if it means not winning the stage. So, winning stages is the most important✅, and then the green jersey, for me.”

What is at stake on stage 1 is not lost on 𝔉Wiebes, but the first aim will be to win the sprint as if it were any other sprint day.

“It will be a special feeling to wear the yellow jersey, but I try to see this as a normal race,” she said. &ldq꧒uo;I think there will be some emotions if🔜 I win there, but we have to see tomorrow.”
