Hanka keeps improving her shape on the way towards the Olympic Games in London. After the good results in the World Cup race Tour of Flanders (16th place) and La Flèche wallonne (17th place) she managed to jump on the podium in the prologue of the stage race Festival du Luxembourg for the first time in this road season.

In the individual time trial over 1.7 kilometres in downtown Luxembourg she finished third in 2: 12,980 minutes and missed victory narrowly . Thereby, Hanka also had the misfortune having to go on the track in pouring rain. . Faster than Hanka were only winner Annemiek van Vleuten (Netherlands) in 2: 11,850 minutes,  who could start on dried off road and Judith Arndt (Leipzig) who needed 2: 12,910 minutes.

Go Hanka go, London is calling!
