Known for instigating breakaways and shining in challenging one-day races, Mavi García came to the elite women’s road race at the UCI Road World Championships as an outsider but rode her way onto the podium with bronze. Though she didn’t take the victory, the Spanish rider was more than satisfied with her result.
“I don’t believe it,” García said in a flash interview minutes after crossing the finish line. “This time, my shape was really good, but you never know, because this circuit was really crazy, the cobbles were super hard. I think I take the good moments and it is the key of the race today.”
