Susanne Andersen was one of the star signings for the Uno-X women's team that was set up ahead of the 2022 season, but she missed last year's Tour de France Femmes after breaking her collarbone in the national championships. A year later, she finally makes her Tour debut, wearing the Norwegian champion's jersey that she won in late June.

"I am very proud of the jersey, it's just a really beautiful design, and whenever I wear it, it reminds me of a very good moment. And since I couldn't make it last year due to the broken collarbone I sustained in the Nationals, it feels like I've come full circle. I am super stoked and excited to be here," Andersen told Cyclingnews ahead of stage 1.
