Alvar Myhlback was not present during the first weekend at the World Cup in Ruka. But at home in Gällivare, the 17-year-old starts with a good feeling.
– If I get to my races, I hope to be up there, he says to SVT Sport.
What are your goals this weekend?
– The goal is to ride so well that I can ride further, I think. Then we’ll see how much of a show I can put on tomorrow, but I’ll do my best.
“Just go out and have fun”
First up is 10 kilometers, and on Sunday it’s time for the first relay of the season, where Myhlback hopes to get a place.
National team manager Anders Byström does not want to reveal his plans for Sunday, but says the following about Myhlback ahead of the debut:
– I told him today that he should just go out and have fun and feel it. There are no performance requirements on him at all.
