On site in Val Mustair in Switzerland where the first stage will be decided tomorrow, it is a happy Linn Svahn that SVT meets.
- I have been looking forward to this ever since we received the message.
It will be great fun and we are very happy to be here with such a strong team.
And it was not directly bad weather either, sun and Manchester tracks, she says and squints at the sun.
Starts with a sprint
The tour begins with Svahn's favorite branch, a sprint race.
- I thrive best on the sprint track.
But I am humble that we will carry out eight races in ten days and it is important to portion out the energy in the right way.
High goals
What are your personal goals with the tour?
- Quite high.
There are many races that suit me well, but we have some tigers that can go fast in the team, she says and laughs.
I probably need a few minutes before the mountain if it is to be really good, but I will make sure to give myself as good a starting position as possible when we start climbing.
