What makes Olympic road races different from regular one-day races on the UCI World Tour is that teams and riders do not use race radios. In Tokyo 2020 in 2021, that allowed Austria Anna Kiesenhofer The much-loved Dutch riders were unaware that Kiessenhofer was closing in on them to break away and take a shocking victory.
With that memory no doubt in their minds, the usual favorites – including the Dutch, London 2012 champion Marianne Voss; But also Poland Katarzyna neuviadoma; Italian Elisa Longo Borghini; Belgium Lotte Kopecky; Australia Grace Brown; Great Britain Lizzy Daynan; And others – want to prevent recurrence.
Keisenhofer is ready to take part, although her chances of a repeat climb are slim and the peloton is now wise to the risk.
