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.”
