Velocio-SRAM aim for fourth win at Crescent Women Vargarda World Cup TTT
Velocio-SRAM head into the Crescent Women Vargarda World Cup team time trial as the three-time defending champions and they are aiming to win a fourth title on Friday. It will be the eighth round of the World Cup series and held along the same 42.5km course as last year in Sweden.
World time trial champion Lisa Brennauer will be among the six-rider team starting the event. “We’ve been doing a great TTT camp to prepare for the race and to form a nice unit. We bring a mix of experienced and new riders to the start in Sweden. It’s important to race together as a team, to be a unit. That’s the key for success. It’s going to be exciting to see how we can perform together.”

Brennauer also noted that the team time trial in Sweden will be the last chance to the team to race as a unit in the discipline before the UCI Road World Championships held in Richmond, Virginia, in September. Velocio-SRAM are also three-time defending champions of the world title and hope to secure a fourth. “I expect the TTT to be a good indicator for World Championships but some teams are missing some of their best riders due to injuries so things could look different at World Championships.”
A world-class field is expected to participate in the eighth and ninth rounds of the UCI Women’s World Cup at the Crescent Women World Cup Vårgårda TTT and Road Race held on August 21 and 23 in Sweden. Lizzie Armitstead (Boels-Dolmans) is currently leading the standings ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini (Wiggle-Honda) and Anna van der Breggen (Rabo-Liv). The 10th and final round will be held at the GP de Plouay Bretagne on August 29 in France.
