For Wolff, who was born and raised in Silkstone Common, the race in her home country has an extra touch. "I find it very special to be able to race in my home country for the next few days", she says enthusiastically. "I am especially looking forward to the first stage. In the first place because it is close to my home, but also because I used to ride mountainbike trials there regularly. It would be nice if I can show myself here."

In the Tour of Britain Women, the riders face two flat and two hilly stages. Team Visma | Lease a Bike has two sprinters in its ranks with Martina Fidanza and Nienke Veenhoven, while Wolff also has a strong final shot. "I expect the first and fourth stage to end in a bunch sprint, although crazy things can just happen", Wolff said.

"Martina and Nienke are our assets in the sprint. Linda, Margaux and I will take care of the lead-out. During the classics we have already ridden with each other, so we already know a little bit how it goes and what is expected of us. Nevertheless, it is good to keep practicing, so that in a while we will master the lead-out to perfection. I really enjoy doing this together and getting better at this every race."

In the tougher stages, Wolff sees opportunities for herself. "I think stage two and three suit me quite well. There are some hills in it and on paper it's a bit harder than the other two stages. It would be nice if at the end of the week I could achieve a nice position in the general classification," the youngster is clear about her goals.

In her first months with the team, Wolff has already managed to impress. For example, she won a stage in the Vuelta Extremadura and had a big part in Marianne Vos' stage wins in the Vuelta España. "My first grand tour was a brilliant experience. We had a super strong team and we worked very well together. By riding races like this, you learn a lot in a short time. For example, we made a lot of progress in our lead-outs."

According to Wolff, her development is going faster than expected. "I didn't expect it to go so quick, although I had hoped it would. I think the races in the elite category suit me better than the juniors because they are longer and tougher," said the British rider, who looks back on her first few months with satisfaction. "I am very happy with my level, but still I would have done some things differently if I could do it over again. When I look at my positioning at certain moments or the use of energy, I can still make a lot of steps in that."
