Ricarda Bauernfeind: "It's just incredible"

"To be honest, I can’t believe it, it’s just incredible. I had the support from my teammates, from the car behind, all the partners… Everyone helped me and supported us. It was an incredible team ride. First we had to chase the breakaway because we didn’t have anyone there. My teammates did a fantastic job. Then, it was up to me, I tried to attack and it worked out. It’s fantastic. As a team, we waited for such a win all year, and now we did it.

A few years ago, I made the decision to focus on my studies. I wanted to become a teacher. Then there was the pandemics, I did a lot of Zwift to stay in form. When I stopped, it was because I had lost a bit of fun, I was always pressuring myself. Then I got the opportunity to join Canyon//Sram Generation. They focus on developing the riders without pressure. It was the best step for me. And now I’m here with Canyon Sram."
