Nicole Steigenga (AG Insurance-Soudal) was the most aggressive rider in Stage 6 of La Vuelta Femenina 25 by Carrefour.es.

“Everyone wanted to be in the breakaway because attackers won’t have any chance tomorrow, so there were a lot of attacks. It was all or nothing today. At one point, we had Justine [Ghekiere] in a big group up the road. It was a nice one, but Visma and FDJ controlled it so the bunch could bring them back. Then another breakaway jumped, and I was inside it. I actually enjoyed the race. It was an interesting, fun one. Things were happening all the time. It feels good to stand on the podium, although it would have been nicer if the breakaway had made it to the finish! [laughs] Anyway, it’s nice that my aggressiveness got rewarded.”
