Linda Indergand (Focus XC Team) – Aquece Rio – Rio, Brasil

What is your opinion on the course presented for the next year Olympic Games? Specially comparing to the courses we know from the World Cup.

I think the course is really fun to ride. the technical parts are as difficult as we know them from the world cups. Some of them looks like in South Africa. The jump sections are very fun to ride and not too dangerous. Everything is especially built for that race so there are sadly not many natural parts. The track is really fast and I think the heat will make the race more difficult.

If you look back on the 2015 season which was your personal best success and which race you will remember?

My best race was in Nove Mesto and it was my first elite world cup. I had a good feeling through the whole race and just enjoyed racing. I will remember of sure the world championship in eliminator and my win.

Now most of the riders are going for well-deserved holidays. When you are going to be back on the bike?

I will start my training on the beginning of November.

Do you know already where and when you will start the 2016 season?

Not for sure yet but cross country it will be the Cyprus Sunshine Cup end of February. Maybe I will compete at a road race before.
