Luke Plapp is preparing for his first Tour de France while focusing on the World Championships time trial in Rwanda. He performed well in the uphill time trial at Peyragudes but views the World Championships as a primary target. In August, he will train at high altitude in Font Romeu, which is similar to the location of the upcoming championship. Plapp emphasizes the need for specific preparation due to the altitude and acknowledges the challenges of competing at that height.
"Most TTs these days are quite demanding and challenging in lots of ways, but in this particular Worlds' the attitude's probably the biggest of them."
"I think you've got to really specifically prep for it, given that it is at altitude. That specific TT prep is something that I really enjoy doing, so I'm also looking forward to it."
