Alba Teruel (Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi): “I couldn’t sleep yesterday night”

May 3 ^rd 2023 - 17:39 [GMT + 2]

Every flat day with this much wind is hard. I knew this stage could be harder and create even bigger gaps than some mountain stages, and it turned out like that. Some very strong teams started pulling, some favorites got dropped, and since then we raced full-gas to the finish. The stage was long and the temperatures were high, and we could feel both things on the legs.

Did I have fun today? Well, I couldn’t sleep yesterday night. I slept only five hours out of sheer excitement. I didn’t know how the race was going to pan out today, and in the end I’ve managed to stay in the mix all the way to the finish. I knew it beforehand that these first two stages of La Vuelta Femenina by Carrefour.es suited my abilities. I’ll enjoy whatever comes from here on.
