Together with GreenEDGE Cycling, we’re dedicated to supporting women at the highest level of the sport and providing pathways for women to achieve their dreams of racing in a WorldTour peloton. We talked with a few riders on the Liv AlUla Jayco WorldTeam about how they got into cycling and their journey to the Paris Summer Olympics.

Mavi García is the embodiment of resilience and determination. Her journey is not only about the victories but also about the inspiration and spirit she brings to the sport and the Liv AlUla Jayco team. From her initial struggles in the peloton, overcoming early setbacks and significant injuries, to becoming a key figure in women’s cycling.

As she prepares for a groundbreaking year that includes the Tour de France Femmes and the Paris Summer Olympics, Mavi's ambitions are set high. Her focus extends beyond personal triumphs to contributing to her team's success and inspiring the next generation of female cyclists. In this exclusive interview, Mavi discusses her love for the Langma Advanced Pro and opens up about the pressures of leadership and maintaining mental fortitude amidst the highs and lows of professional cycling.

Liv: What are your immediate goals for the upcoming season?

Mavi: My main objectives are those which are coming up now: the Giro, the Olympics, the Tour de France Femmes and the World Championships. We did mark the Giro as a major one, because it looks like a race that suits me very well. The World Champs this year, which will be very hard, as it seems well-suited to climbers. Of course I don't want to rule out or place any less emphasis on the Olympics, which is a really important event. It will also be my last Olympics, so let’s see what it brings!

Liv: What has been your proudest moment in your cycling career so far?

Mavi: I think the Giro 2022 was when I felt really good on the bike - I finished third overall, but at the start I felt there was a chance of a victory. That was a very satisfying race for me personally, to be able to compete at that level and feel capable of fighting for victories with the likes of Van Vleuten. That’s something I will never forget.

Liv: How do you feel about being a role model for young female cyclists, and what message would you like to convey to them?

Mavi: I think it’s very important they have role models to follow, people who are achieving things, and also the values we hold up in our pursuit of this sport. For me it’s extremely important to help inspire these fans, and show to these young girls and women that there is a future for them in our sport that perhaps was not there in previous times. I speak in schools, and part of my motivation is helping to instill these values: that winning is not everything, that sport is about much more than that and has so much to offer. I think it’s very important we show this and lead by example.

Liv: What drew you to cycling as a sport, and how did you feel when you first decided to compete professionally?

Ingvild: I started cycling because a friend of mine was going to mountain bike training after school, and she asked me to join. I was lucky enough to race internationally as a junior, and got to test myself in the elite ranks as a junior, I think this made the transition a bit smoother. But in my first experience with professional racing I was in a bit of disbelief to actually get to that level.

Liv: Who are some of your heroes or people that inspire you?

Ingvild: All the women that came before us in cycling, who have made the path for us, they inspire me.

Liv: Could you share a memorable race experience that has had a significant impact on your journey as an athlete?
