Marta Cavalli "hopes to bring a victory in the Tour of Flanders"

FDJ Suez Futuroscope rider Marta Cavalli is preparing for the 2023 season. As a result of her crash in the Tour de France Femmes, she missed most of the end-of-season races, and she would like to make up for it in the following seasons.

In preparation for the new season, she recently attended a training camp with her team. The Tour of Flanders will be one of her major goals. Her best result was a sixth place back in 2021, whilst she finished just outside the Top20 this year.

"Under the Christmas tree, I would like to find a present not so much for myself but for all Italian women's cycling that continues to grow and bring success to our country. As a special gift, I hope to bring a victory in the Tour of Flanders," Cavalli told TuttoBiciWeb.

Cavalli achieved three victories this season. Amstel Gold Race, La Flèche Wallonne Féminine and Mont Ventoux Dénivelé Challenges. Also, she was a tough competition to Annemiek van Vleuten in Giro d'Italia Donne, finishing second in the general classification. In recent years, she has established herself as one of the top riders in the peloton, and hopes that trend will continue.
