While she is feeling fit and motivated, she acknowledges
that getting back into race rhythm will take some time. "I feel fit and
hope to compete in the final, although we always have to wait and see how
things go in the first race of the season."
This year, the long awaited arrival of Milano-Sanremo for women has
slightly altered the positioning of Trofeo Alfredo Binda on the race calendar,
which could change the dynamics of the race.
"With the arrival of
Milan-Sanremo for women, Binda will have a slightly different place on the
cycling calendar. It is now seen more as a preparation race, and that is why I
expect a tough race with many strong riders. It is a beautiful race, and I hope
to be able to fight for the win together with the team."
Joining Vos at Trofeo Alfredo Binda will be the cyclocross superstar
Fem van Empel,
who continues to build her road racing experience. "It's a new round for
me with a lot of elevation, so I'm looking forward to discovering whether this
suits me and to make something beautiful out of it," Van Empel shared. "I'm
still fairly new to the road, so my expectations aren't extremely high yet. It
will mean a lot to me if I can do something for the team."
