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...

“Why did I pull so much time during the final climb? Well, I just wanted to make the race hard, and the team wanted to be at the front for as long as possible. We tried, and I actually felt kind of good. I didn’t want to wait too long on the last climb to try to make the race hard, and it worked well. I think I came closer to victory than in the last mountain stage. It was a good day and everything went according to plan....

Nienke Vinke (Picnic-PostNL): “The last day of the race always is a mental struggle”
Nienke Vinke (Picnic-PostNL) was the best young rider of La Vuelta Femenina 25 by Carrefour.es.
“It's very special. I didn't expect to finish as the best young rider because, to be honest, I didn't feel great this week. Today was the first day that I finally found my good legs again, and I'm really happy with that. I think I like cold weather, as I normally do well in the cold and rainy weather. I also thrive when it has been a hard race and we've done multiple stages - I just start feeling better and better. That was key - and also keeping the fight on, because...

102| Cat FERGUSON
Cat Ferguson (Movistar Team): “I’m disappointed with my sprint today”
Cat Ferguson (Movistar Team) was the best young rider in Stage 6 of La Vuelta Femenina 25 by Carrefour.es.
“I’m not the happiest. It’s great to have scored two top10 results but, to be honest, I wanted more. I’m disappointed with my sprint today. I wasn't there in the battle for the position. The start of the stage was really calm, and then a breakaway went, and we missed it. We were a little bit on the back foot and had to use some girls to chase, and maybe that resulted in at the end not having too many teammates to give a hand with positioning....

Nicole Steigenga (AG Insurance-Soudal): “It was all or nothing today”
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...

Marianne Vos (Visma | Lease a Bike): “Very happy… and also exhausted”
Marianne Vos (Visma | Lease a Bike) won Stage 6 of La Vuelta Femenina 25 by Carrefour.es and is the current leader of the Points classification.
“I’m very happy… and also exhausted, to be honest. We knew, as a team, that today it was a chance for us. The first one of course takes you the pressure off, but today we wanted to go all out, and we did. There were a lot of straight open roads, with just enough wind to make it hard. It was mainly headwind, which was not ideal for the breakaway. A big move went, and we had two riders on it with Marion Bunel,...

“Today was a bit of a crazy final. It was really stressful, with this last downhill and still a big bunch at the finish because the stage was mostly flat. I’m happy I made it to the finish inside the front group and that I managed to stay upright despite finding a crash in front of me in the last right-hand turn - it was a bit scary! Anyway, all went well and Ally [Wollaston] sprinted to 3rd place, doing a good job herself. As...
