On July 9th and 10th there will be the world cup weekend at Lenzerheide, in Switzerland. Myriam Nicole won such stages last year and in 2017.

What is your feeling after 3 stages of the World Cup (and 3 podiums)?

I had a difficult start to the season. It wasn't the best. With the opening in France (Lourdes) which we had to manage, given the crash in the morning of the race but I still managed to get a second place. Then I spent 5 weeks in my hammock facing a concussion. I went back and finished third in Scotland. And then Leogang arrives (laughs) where I had another difficult week, finishing second. A start to the season full of pitfalls, but it is the case with many athletes. In the end I think I'm not doing that badly. I'm second (overall) with 130 points behind. And there are still many races this summer and until September. It bodes well for the future.

What are your expectations for Lenzerheide?

Lenzerheide, it's a track that I love. I am very happy there is this stage. However, whether it is Lenzerheide or another track, the fact that I was able to do a good physical training and gain technical confidence, doing several races like in Andorra, gives me morale. It was good for me.

What makes the Swiss track special?

As for the Swiss track, it is not long. It is very intense. It is a track where you need to be able to focus strongly on all the key points to make a difference. There is a large audience and I love being in Switzerland. This is a good sign.

You can always run the race live on Red Bull TV.

ppgad@pucrs.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
