I want to win the big ones.” Photo: Tim De Waele | TDWsport.com

    “It’s the coolest thing in the whole world, it’s amazing. This is leading up to the Olympics, as well.

    Anna van der Breggen (Netherlands)

    “It’s not something new for us, because Marianne [Vos] hasn’t been here the whole season. We are a bit used to it now. The team tactics need to be different because Marianne is a really good sprinter, good climber, good everything. But she’s not here. It’s not something to think about. You have to think in opportunities. You use the strength of the girls that are here.”
