Canyon-SRAM sprinter Cecchini ready for Ronde van Drenthe
Canyon-SRAM's Elena Cecchini says she's ready to put forth a strong performance at this weekend's Ronde van Drenthe, the second round of the Women's WorldTour. The 138.3-kilometre course includes five cobbled sections and three trips up the man-made VAM-berg, but it is still a race for the sprinters.
“I expect I can give some good competition, and especially since I prefer to start with a flat race rather than a hilly one. I imagine the race will be tough because I’ve seen that there are a lot of motivated teams. Every corner and every breakaway can be dangerous so you have to be focused from start to finish," Cecchini said in a team press release.

She will be joined by a strong team that includes Trixi Worrack, Alexis Ryan, Lisa Brennauer, Tiffany Cromwell and Alena Amialiusik. The Women's WorldTour started at Strade Bianche last weekend, after which, Canyon-SRAM continued on with a team training camp.
“We wanted to keep training as a group as there aren’t so many opportunities throughout the season for that.” said team manager Ronny Lauke, and added a note about the predicted nice weather for Ronde van Drenthe.
“It’s almost too good of a weather forecast for that race. It usually has a better character when there are cold and rainy conditions. The narrow lead into the man-made hill and the cobble sections are the dangerous parts but somehow in the nicer weather conditions we can expect a bigger group to make it to the final.”
