Liv Racing Xstra have signed Spanish champion and Giro Donne podium finisher Mavi Garcia. Garcia will join the team from UAE ADQ on January 1st on a two year contract.
Mavi Garcia said:
“When I sat down with Giorgia Bronzini and team manager Eric van den Boom, it immediately felt very good and comfortable. Those conversations gave me confidence. I am convinced that together we can create something beautiful and that there is room to grow. In the meantime, I have been working at the highest level for many years. In this phase I need tranquility, understanding and professionalism. Liv Racing Xstra can offer me a lot in all these areas. All decisions I have made in my career have been well-considered and have always brought positive change. It will be no different with this move”
“Liv Racing Xstra is a stable team with a rich history in cycling. Looking at the riders, I see a lot of potential, in all areas. For next year I think it is most important that we operate as a team. That we are one tight unit and fight in the races that are important. In addition, I want to experience the pleasure. That is where success begins.”
With the arrival of the Spanish top rider, Liv Racing Xstra has the GC rider it has been searching for. The team had a strong Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift and with the arrival of Garcia they can now focus not just on the sprints but on the overall classification of the biggest races.
Team manager and owner Eric van den Boom: “We wanted to reinforce ourselves with a strong rider who is able to achieve success in stage races as well as in tough one day races. Mavi García fits that profile perfectly. She also brings the necessary experience that our talented youngsters can really use. We can’t wait to get started on this cooperation and look forward to seeing where it takes us.”
