"To come home with third on the GC with this team is really special,” - Alex Manly satisfied with her performance in Tour of Scandinavia

The Tour of Scandinavia concluded on Sunday with Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig's victory. Australian rider Alex Manly secured the third position in GC.

“It’s been a very good week in Scandinavia, to come home with third on the GC with this team is really, really special,” said Manly. She constantly tried to finish under the top 10 and even won stage four of the tour.

Manly says this tour has taught her many things, and overall she is happy with the end result. “I think we’ve bonded really well this week and it’s been a great team effort from everybody, there’s no way it would have happened without people learning from each day and committing to the plan every single day. We’re super happy, the staff and everyone, it’s been great,” concluded Manly.
