Lisa Nordén took the Olympic silver in London 2012. She was rewarded with both Svenska Dagbladets Bragdguld and the Jerring Prize the following winter. Although she is a recognized speed cyclist, she has no experience of similar cycling at world level.
- I have never run in such a large cluster in a professional context. A triathlon World Cup run is also clustered but in a different way with a little different tactical thinking. I get to take the tips and advice I have received and do it as best as possible, ”she tells SVT Sport.
The 34-year-old has been suffering from injury problems lately, which has led to her being able to train more cycling and less running and swimming.
- I think the position war itself will be difficult for me. It's pretty tight on the dirt roads, she says.
The opponents of Vårgårda World Tour consist of tactically well-beaten professional teams. Nordén competes for the Swedish national team. What tactics they have, she doesn't really know. In any case, she reveals nothing.
"We'll see that tomorrow when I meet the national team," she says with a laugh.
