My blog, my life
The first part of the season with the spring’s classics is already done! We started the first days of April with the Flanders and we came back from the Ardennes a few days ago. I took place at many of these races trying to find all the strength I've lost in the tracks season this [...]
Do you know how’s hell like? You had to be there yesterday!166km race, heavy rain, strong wind, pavè, mud and cold. The race has been really fast in the first 70km and I kept the best wheels and could stay in the first group of 25 riders! It seemed the race “was over” but unexpectedly [...]
It took me a while to be able to think and write about my track’s World Championship. An appointment that I was preparing for months with a lot of motivation and determination. The preparation lasted all winter with World Cups and training camps that have kept me away from home for more than two months. [...]
The time at home is every time shorter! After the trip in New Zeland I directly flew in south Italy (Etna). There, with my national teammates, I had a 10 days’ training camp. We slept in altitude and trained in the valley, working very hard for the track’s World Championship. Tomorrow, after only two days [...]
It’s unbelievable even if it’s a few days that I came back home from Hong Kong! After three bronze and one silver medal, we finally got the gold one at the last World Cup in the team pursuit! The race went well since the start, where me, Martina Alzini, Marta Cavalli and Letizia Paternoster did [...]
This adventure in New Zealand is over and I’m satisfied but disappointed. In the team pursuit me, Martina Alzini, Marta Cavalli end Letizia Paternoster did some good times, especially in the bronze medal’s final we did a great 4’18”0, just 2 tenths over the Italian National Record! Despite that, two teams, New Zealand and Canada, [...]
Team Cycling is not an individual sport, in fact having a great team is the key for a successful result. Anyway only one person can win an for this reason sometimes is very difficult to work as a team. I’ve decided to continue my adventure in the Valcar Cylance Cycling team also for this season. [...]
First races of 2019! In this moment I’m on the other side of the world, at 18500km from home! I’m here in New Zeland for the fourth track’s World Cup, that will take place from 18th to 20th January. The place is wonderful: we’re in the middle of the nature, with a lot of trees, hills, [...]
I can’t stop smiling when I think of my 2018. It has been a year full of cycling, the first after the high school, with a lot of trainings and races. I’ve had a lot of satisfactions like the bronze medal at the team pursuit’s world championship, the two UCI road races’ victories (Borsele and [...]
Sprint I’m a sprinter, it means that for me the sprint is the crucial part of the race. In a few seconds, the result of a 130km race is often decided. The sprint is adrenaline, ability to hold positions, intelligence in choosing the right moment and power.
