Marion Bunel (Visma | Lease a Bike) finished 6th in Stage 5 of La Vuelta Femenina 25 by Carrefour.es and stood on the podium as the best young rider.

“I am thankful to my teammates for their continued support. I have had so many doubts for days and months before this day. I was waiting for a stage like this to regain my self-confidence. I am happy to rediscover those good feelings today. It was a really hard climb, and I kept that in my mind as a motivation to fight. The hardest part was the best one for me. It was good for me in order to find a good result. I was close to the top5 today, so in the final stage I will try to land a top5 result. It’s my best-ever result in a Grand Tour, and that’s already a great satisfaction. I want to enjoy more races like I enjoyed this one.”
