10 2013 Julie Bresset during warm-up for the XC World Cup in La Bresse France. The hidden spot behind the team bus gives her a moment of contemplation.
Julie Bresset london bound The season 2011 could not have been better for young French rider, Julie Bresset, from Brittany. Being the youngest World Cup overall winner ever she has written herself into history. on top of that, she won the French and European championship titles and became World Champion in the U23 class at the end of the season. This paved her way to London. As the Olympic Games take place only every four years, making the grade to qualify is a huge challenge for any athlete and to train specifically for the Olympic XC race requires sacrifices. Fortunately for Julie, she qualified for the Olympic team at the beginning of the season which took some of the pressure off her during the year. Other athletes were still competing hard to qualify right up until the World Cup in La Bresse at the end of May. Thanks to her extraordinary skills, Julie had already won her ticket to London and was able to start preparing for the sporting highlight early in 2012. The first task was to study the Olympic course. There was a test event at the same location last summer, which was advantageous for the strategic preparation: Julie’s trainer had her ride more cross country races in winter, the socalled cyclocross-races, in order to train for the short and powerful uphill sprints. In comparison to the alpine World Cup courses, the Olympic trail is undulating, but energysapping due to several fast climbs. In April, Julie returned to the Olympic course together with the BH SRSUNTOUR team - the manager, mechanic and her coach. She stayed for a couple of days to get a feeling for the course. On the one hand she wanted to check if the course was still the same and on the other hand she had to start thinking about selecting the right equipment for the race. After the earlier test event some riders had thought the course was more suited to 29er’s so Julie had to work out the best bike set-up. The big Words Arnaud Grosjean | Photos Hoshi Yoshida question of whether to ride a full suspension or not and which suspension fork setup to use were important topics to investigate for the man-made course. Other preparations focused on planning the racing schedule for the year. Being the 2011 World Cup Champion Julie had a title to defend and up until the fourth World Cup race this year she was in the lead again. Julie chose, however, not to participate in the North American World Cup races in order to save up energy for the Olympics. This meant she gave away the World Cup lead and instead was able to relax with her family and to participate in the French road cycling championship. This diversion to a new discipline was also a part of her training plan. According to her coach, Julie’s weaknesses were pedaling-strength and fitness. However, coming 9th in the individual time trial proved she was already quite fit. In order to improve her technical riding skills Julie also did some detours to the BMX-tracks on her XC bike. Here she focused mostly on her jumps. The skill of tactical jumping in a race has proved itself useful at several world cups already. In Nove Mesto on the so-called ‘BMX’ passage, for example, where a stretched-out long descent had some speed-doubles, the rider could either brake to slow down to ride over the doubles or choose the much faster option of getting air and doing a jump. Julie’s brilliant riding skills in this area were the key to this world cup victory. After all this physical preparation, now comes the mental and psychological preparation for the Olympic Games. The French national team has specialists who help the riders to relax and reduce stress through specialized training programs, but for Julie there is a simpler and much more effective way to reduce the inner pressure. Spending time with her family she finds her tranquility, support and the source for her strength and energy. 11
