According to trainer Thijs Rondhuis the
decision to start at the Olympic time trial was taken after he and Vos studied the route. Rondhuis said: “At a flat
timetrial Marianne would lose to much on the world’s top riders but this route ia a different story. There is a long
climb with a gradient that Marianne can handle and then there is the descending part. She can descent better then anybody
else.” Rondhuis said that the time trial would not have been an option if it would have take place before the road race.
“Mariannes big chances are at the road races so that is her main goal.
But two days will be enough to regenerate from that race and after trhe time trial Marianne can train four days on the track
before she will start at the points race.” The Olympic road race will take place on August 10, the time trial at August
13 and the points race at August 18. The 2006 road race and cross
world champion is one of the favourites for the Olympic road race.
Tonight, Marianne Vos won the ladies race
of the Rotterdam
Six Days with Adrie Visser. The Ladies race actually is a Four Days race.
