"We have a mixed team this year for the Giro Rosa. A mix of great experience and previous stage winners, combined with fresh faces."

"On a positive side, time in the CANYON//SRAM colours will be very stimulating for me."
"I paced the first half of the course on the way out at around 90%. I gave everything on the way back to the finish and this is where I made up the time."
"I've said that I should write a book about this year with CANYON//SRAM Racing and I have a feeling this weekend will be a great chapter."
"To win either event would be a dream realised, an honour and a huge success on all fronts. I've been training hard and working on my weaknesses. A win would be confirmation that my efforts are not wasted."
"It's nice to see my progression from week to week"
"The special edition kit will bring a unique level of attention from the cycling community to an already-unique, high-profile women's race."
"I'm really happy with today. Coming to the finish you could tell that a a lot of people were really tired. To be that close for a stage win in a proper bunch sprint it's great."
"It will be a tough one as the gaps are still small and the battle for bonus seconds might hot up to secure the overall classifications. The team is up for it and will go into the stage guns blazing assisting Hannah."
"Unfortunately it didn't go as smoothly from there after and I was sixth"
"I've not been that close to a win this season so it's a good feeling and positive sign for what our team has coming."
"Unfortunately too many of the roads were protected by hedges and buildings and with the lack of open fields we couldn't utilise the wind as much as we wanted today."
"For me personally, I am confident to get over the QOM's in a small group and follow it with a good result."
"Overall it was a good weekend. We made two podiums and the group raced very well."
"We have another chance tomorrow and when all five of us work again like today it will be a good opportunity to try to take the win."
"I will start from the back of the bunch but I have to deal with that. The goal is to do complete race with the best of myself."
"I've been training in altitude the last three weeks but my load has been refreshing and I feel good for this next period of racing."
"Full of obstacles, fast descents and challenging uphills, it is also the favourite race on the MTB calendar for many riders."
