In the Tour de Bretagne (July 17th-20th) she finished 34th overall. The competition was much tougher than previous years (due to it being Olympic year - e.g. 20 teams, i.e. 120 riders where last year there were only 12 teams, i.e. 72 riders). Her best result was in the time trial, where she finished 20th and within 10% of the winner's time, which is part of the selection criteria for the world championships time trial.
