‘The ride deserved better than fifth’ – Gåskjenn impresses at La Vuelta Femenina

Going into La Vuelta Femenina, Mavi García was the Liv-AlUla-Jayco rider expected to perform best in GC. She said her goal was top five overall. While the 40-year-old Spanish Champion may not be on top form, the team has seen 25-year-old Ingvild Gåskjenn rise to the occasion.

Gåskjenn continued to impress after a breakthrough spring campaign, finishing fifth on stage 7 at the Vuelta Femenina on Saturday, moving to 13th place overall and 5:13 behind race leader Demi Vollering (SD Worx-Protime). García was in 17th overall, 6:36 back.
