Nickname
Big Al
Alice joins EF Education-Oatly this year with five seasons of pro racing already to her name. She enjoys seeing the progress in her racing and training day after day, year after year as she works toward her goals. This year, Alice wants to start gaining experience as a leader in select races and to see what kind of a racer she becomes. She loves a hard day of attritional racing, even more so if it is in the Ardennes.
Life as a bike racer has taught Alice that race programs and tactics can change in an instant, so she’s learned to be flexible in order to adapt to the situation.
Because fueling is so important as an athlete, Alice likes to have fun preparing her meals and loves to get creative in the kitchen. She enjoys preparing tasty meals and ride food, but her current project is mastering the traditional Sunday roast dinner.
