Results on the road this year marked a significant step forward for Georgi. She finished third in Roubaix<\/a> in a sprint finish, after chasing back up to the front group on her own. <\/p>\n

At the Olympics she was in medal contention on the final lap before she was dropped on the climb of Montmartre with 10km to go and rode solo to claim fifth.<\/p>\n

“I think they were probably my two best days of the year and of my career. I think that’s just really exciting – that shows that I’m like getting towards the level that I want to be and competitive in the races that I love,” Georgi said. <\/p>\n

“I think that gives me confidence going forward, definitely.<\/p>\n

“My legs just exploded [in Paris] and I saw my dream slipping away from me up the Montmartre the last time.<\/p>\n

“Initially I was really disappointed after the line, but I gave it everything I had on the day and I think I was performing really well. On reflection, I can’t be disappointed, it still was a good result. <\/p>\n

“It’s just when you have a chance once every four years and a medal could have potentially been possible then it was quite hard at the time.”<\/p>\n

As a one-day racing specialist primarily, the goal next season is more of the same with Paris-Roubaix, Gent-Wevelgem and the inaugural edition of the women’s Milan-San Remo in the spring to target. <\/p>\n

“I’m ready to get back to work because I’ve had enough time sat on the sofa to be honest,” Georgi said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
