Anna van der Breggen (Team SD Worx) has confirmed that she is targeting the Olympic Games in Tokyo above the Giro d’Italia Donne in July. The double world champion is currently preparing for the two events at an altitude training camp in Tignes, France.

“I think it can be both [important]. Of course, the Olympics are more important but the Giro is a really nice stage race and mostly, if you have a stage race that long, it’s making me also better after,” said Van der Breggen. “So I think it’s a good combination just to try [to do] well in the Giro and then have a good preparation for the Olympic Games.”
