Marlen Reusser (Movistar Team) finished 2nd overall at La Vuelta Femenina 25 by Carrefour.es

“I’m super happy. What else can I say! I’m just super happy. I think we did a really good week of racing with the team. I think we played a main part in the unfolding of the race. It’s sad that the team couldn't win a stage, because we were really dominating the race itself each day. But to be 2nd overall is really good and it makes us really happy and proud of our whole performance. We were super strong, really, and I’m very happy to be part of this team.”

“It’s a very special result. One year ago, I was in such a bad state, and now I’m second in the Vuelta. Achieving this after this period is incredible and super special. I really enjoyed racing the whole week. It was really nice to race with the team: good feeling, joy, cool girls, cool staff… It was beautiful. I think I can be confident in view of the upcoming challenges, but also I still have some work to do. I think there’s not a lot missing - but a little bit. I’m improving and my numbers are getting better and better. I can’t say I will beat Demi [Vollering], but I will keep trying to get there. Let’s see!”
