Following rigorous training in Australia post-surgery, she expressed excitement and nervousness about competing against top cyclists, ultimately proving her resilience and strength in the race.
"We rode a super strong race with the team. At the top I could take the full amount of points, which rewarded in the red QOM jersey."
