‘Now is my moment’ – Mavi Garcia turns despair to joy as she lands biggest win of career with well-timed flyer on Tour de France Femmes stage 2

The emotion was clear for Mavi García after she crossed the line to claim a win at the Tour de France Femmes: The season hadn’t been kind to her, despite how hard she had been training, but one well-placed solo flyer just changed all that.

At 41, the Spanish rider had been wondering whether it might be time to retire, but the victory gave her the biggest energy boost possible, not only making her season but delivering a triumph for her team in their first Tour de France Femmes stage victory.
