Team BikeExchange-Jayco finished second in the team time trial stage of the Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta. Together, the team set a record time of 23 minutes, 37 seconds, which was only surpassed by Trek-Segafredo.
Kristen Faulkner is satisfied with the result. “I was really surprised by how great it felt today. We hadn’t actually ridden all together in a TTT, so it was amazing and quite impressive how smooth the entire race went,” said Faulkner.
She continues, “We knew we had a headwind going out and a tailwind coming back, so we tried to take some shorter pulls going out and then really push it on the way back. I think we executed the team strategy really well, and we ended up second overall.”
She says the team will continue to focus on future stage victories while playing defensively. “We’re always going for the win, but it was close, and I think we showed the strength we have, and now we can play a little bit defensively in the next few days and put the pressure on the other teams to chase any attacks,” concluded Faulkner.
