After numerous races mainly in Europe, Liv AlUla Jayco ends the season in China with the Tour of Chongming Island and the Tour of Guangxi.
Starting on Tuesday, Chongming Island kicks off the trip to China followed by the one-day race in Guangxi.
Liv AlUla Jayco travels to Asia with a mixed group of riders ready for multiple scenarios. For the Tour of Chongming Island, all eyes will be on sprinter Georgia Baker for the flat stages.

“It’s my first time racing in China and I’m looking forward to it. We have a really motivated team for the sprint leadouts at the Tour of Chongming Island with our sprinter Georgia Baker. The Tour of Guangxi really suits Caroline Andersson, who is also super excited about racing in China. Overall, I think we have a strong team that can really contest for the win.”
Jessica Allen (Sport Director):
“As a team, we haven’t been to China since 2023, so first and foremost we are looking forward to returning. We have a strong, motivated team of six riders at the start, both in the Tour of Chongming Island and the Tour of Guangxi.
The Tour of Chongming Island will mainly be the stage for the sprinters. With Georgia Baker, we have someone in our ranks who should be able to go for a good result in the bunch sprints. The Tour of Guangxi has a more varied course. Among other things, there is a 1.5-kilometre climb with an average gradient of 11% and sections of up to 16.5%. This race is more suited to punchy climbers, and we are also aiming for a strong result here.”
