Pauline Ferrand-Prevot (France):
"I’m feeling OK. I had a bit of a cold in the last few days but I’ve tried to recover as best as possible, and now we’ll just see what happens. When you’ve won a World title a few weeks before, of course there’s attention but you just have to relax. There’s so much confidence though after our win yesterday in the U23 race, and we want to keep the momentum and feeling going. As for my biggest rival today, that’s Lizzie Armitstead. For me she is a favourite."

"I’m just feeling ready and excited to go. It’s been a long wait since the team time trial, but I’m feeling confident. At the end of the day this is just another bike race. The preparation has been perfect and I’m in the best shape possible. It’s now down to just how the race goes. There weren’t any major surprises from the earlier races in terms of how they played out, but we know that every race is different. We might not read too much into the races we’ve seen before. As for the weather, I think it’s perfect. We want the weather to be bad."
Rushlee Buchanan (New Zealand):
"We’ve a small team, but it’s a bit of a powerful team too. I’ve ridden with Linda all year and we know each other so well. We’ve done a lot of Worlds together before but we’ll just see how it goes. I’m excited, but being a three-woman team we don’t have to control the race. We’ll be looking to find some opportunities and then take them. My role will be to stay with Linda for as long as possible. She has the legs, so if I can look after her that would be great. Anything is possible. She has the form, and I think that this is a really god course for her."
