Team Jumbo-Visma Women aims for day successes in Spain

The Ceratizit Challenge began in 2015 as a one-day race in Madrid. In 2018, a time trial was added and from 2019, three stages were scheduled. However, this yearโ€™s race promises to be the toughest of all editions. The race in the northwest of Spain consists of two climbing stages, a climbing time trial towards the Manzaneda ski station and on Sunday a sprint final in Santiago de Compostela. The four-day stage race ends on the day that the Vuelta a Espaรฑa for men also has its conclusion.

Riejanne Markus, who celebrates her 27th birthday on Wednesday, is looking forward to the Spanish stage race. โ€œIโ€™m very much looking forward to it. It will be a very tough race with many altimetres. At the same time it also makes it a very nice challenge to get a good result. I am also looking forward to the time trial. Even though itโ€™s a tough course, and I prefer a slightly flatter time trial, it will be a good final practice for the European Championships.โ€
