Wild aims to bring winning sprint to 2019 Women's WorldTour
Kirsten Wild is off to a winning start with her new team WNT-Rotor after securing the victory in the Omnium at the Six Days Bremen in Germany this weekend. The Dutchwoman will now turn her attention to the UCI Track World Championships and the defence of her three world titles in the Omnium, Points Race and Scratch Race, before bringing her winning sprint back to road racing during the 2019 Women's WorldTour.
"I will try to have a good result at the World Championships and to have the world titles again," Wild told Cyclingnews about her targets for Worlds held from February 27 to March 3 in Poland.
"I'm not only aiming for three world titles again because that is something you cannot plan. I will try to be on my best form, and I hope that ends with some good results."
Asked if she had a preferred track event, Wild said "no," but she will line up as the favourite for all three events given her success during the World Cup season so far. Wild is indeed a favourite for the Omnium having won the World Cup rounds in France and London.
Her Omnium victory in the Six Day Bremen was made even more special by the fact that her new WNT-Rotor teammate Lisa Brennauer stood on the podium next to her in third place.
"It was nice because the sponsor was there and so that was very nice that both of us were on the podium," Wild said.
