Pfeiffer Georgi: British champion says Olympics road race route suits her
British road race champion Pfeiffer Georgi believes the Olympics course suits her “quite well” as she prepares for her first tilt at the Games.
The 23-year-old will compete in a four-rider Great Britain team in Paris on 3 August alongside Lizzie Deignan, British time-trial champion Anna Henderson and Anna Morris.
The Gloucestershire-based rider said she believes the 158km route, which features 1,700m of climbing, is a “really exciting” course.
“I think the course does suit me quite well,” Georgi told BBC Sport.
“There’s a lot of opportunities and I think the Olympics, with such small team sizes, it’s always special and you never know what happens – looking at the last Olympics – so I think it’s completely open.
“I remember when I was 11 and I was watching Lizzie [Deignan] and [Marianne] Vos sprint for the win in London 2012 and since then I’ve always had it on my radar to one day go.”
