Reigning Olympic women's road race cycling champion Anna van der Breggen is determined to defend her title before hanging up her cleats and taking on a new role in the sport.
The 31-year-old is retiring at the end of the year to become leader of her SD Worx team, trading in her bike for the team car, but first wants a return to the winners' podium, she told Dutch NOS television on Monday."This feels a bit like the last highlight for me but the Games are something special to experience," said the two-time road race world champion and also reigning time trial world champion.
"First we have to make sure we get over the jet lag. We are still tired, but when that is over, I think we can be ready for the road race and then the time trial," she said. Van der Breggen took the bronze medal at Rio de Janeiro in the time trial and last year won the world championship in Imola.
