@heywoodu when will be the first opportunity to cheer on our fav :BRA athlete this season??? :cool:

That is unclear yet :p

 

Step one is getting back home, which is hopefully tomorrow (her flight of today was cancelled). Then she'll need to get back to work: both work as in training, since in the burning heat in Brazil she simply had to put that down for a bit to not destroy her body, and actual work as in her job in the bike shop :d 

 

For now we're thinking of trying to find some races in Austria or Germany in January, possibly including the open Dutch championships (which are no FIS races) and maybe followed by the Austrian championships in Saalfelden. It depends a little on logistics, for example the wife of the bike shop owner is more and more planning to take their van and drive to Austria for a bit to go to some races together, which would help immensely compared to having to find your way with public transport :d 

 

Spoiler

The plans to rent a car this season were hurt a bit when Bruna failed her driving exam here in the Netherlands last month...it was actually going very well, but in literally the last turn - with the parking in sight - there was a mistake. And a Dutch license is needed for her to rent a car, which would make things a lot easier.

 

Long story short: probably not in the World Cup this season due to mainly logistical reasons and focusing on other kinds of races for now :p
