She believes that the challenging course in Romandie will be demanding for all the stages. She emphasized the importance of staying out of trouble and is particularly excited about stage two, which suits her climbing capabilities. Žigart praised the team’s strength, stating, “We have a really well-rounded team, a really strong team I would say.”

Megan Chard, Sport Director of Team Jayco AlUla, believes that the race’s varied terrain suits the team well and wants the riders to be aggressive throughout each stage. Chard highlighted Ruby Roseman-Gannon’s impressive condition, and the team will be targeting stages that suit her strengths. Additionally, Chard sees stage two as crucial for the general classification (GC) and expects Ane Santestban, Kristen Faulkner, and Urška Žigart to perform well. Chard expressed excitement about an aggressive race and believes that the team’s strong performance on and off the bike in recent weeks will lead to top results in the final races of the season.

With a talented and motivated team, Team Jayco AlUla is poised to tackle the challenges of the Tour de Romandie Féminin and aim for success on every stage.
