Spanish champion Mavi Garcia<\/strong> is aiming to reach the podium for Liv AlUla Jayco<\/strong> at the forthcoming Amstel Gold Race<\/strong> and Fl\u00e8che Wallonne Femmes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Garcia has been within touching distance of a top-three result at both races in recent years. She finished fourth in last season\u2019s Fl\u00e8che Wallonne and is hoping to go at least one better in the Belgian race.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside Garcia will be the up-and-coming New Zealand champion Ella Wyllie<\/strong>, who made her debut at these hilly classics last season. Caroline Andersson<\/strong>, who has impressed in her opening races of the season, will be another card to play in both races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

De Brabantse Pijl podium finisher Alex Manly<\/strong> is on strong form and will ride both events, as will Ingvild G\u00e5skjenn<\/strong>. Amber Pate<\/strong> will complete the line-up for the Amstel Gold Race, finishing off a solid block of racing at the classics, with Ur\u0161ka \u017digart<\/strong> coming into the squad for Fl\u00e8che Wallonne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The parcours for the Amstel Gold Race appears like a sawblade as the race loops around the Limburg province of The Netherlands, taking in a relentless 21 climbs before finishing in Valkenburg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the climbs in the Ardennes are fewer at Fl\u00e8che Wallonne Femmes, they are longer and the two trips up the brutally steep Mur de Huy will be a big test for the peloton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mavi Garcia:<\/span><\/strong>
\u201cAfter Trofeo Alfredo Binda (in March) I went directly to Sierra Nevada for an altitude camp. I did a very good job before this important block of races and stayed there until a few days ago. Amstel Gold Race and Fl\u00e8che Wallonne Femmes are two races that I’m always good at and I’m looking forward to achieving a good result, especially in Fl\u00e8che. In the last three years I was really close to the podium doing fifth, fifth and fourth position.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMavi should be in a good shape, and she has the experience in those races and knows when and where to be. She has proved to be really good this year and that she can really go for a win in both races. In addition, we have our youngster Ella, who still has to learn, but with the knowledge that Mavi has, she can be up there to and they can play the game together. The main thing for them is that they have a really strong team around them, and the others can also take advantage of it to go a bit earlier. There should be lots of opportunities and we are looking forward to these races and showing our team colours in the finals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
