My blog, my life
After a good 4:17.474 in the qualifications we were the second team behind the USA, in the semifinals just like a week ago at the European Championships, we raced against the strong Germans. Although they were a few tenths behind us in the qualifications, still once, they beat us to get to the final. We, [...]
Unfortunately my approach to this competition was not ideal because I got sick and just the week before the start of the races I had to stay still for a few days. For this reason I'm even happier for the bronze medal that Martina Alzini, Marta Cavalli, Vittoria Guazzini, Letizia Paternoster and I won in [...]
I certainly have to update you on what happened in the last two weeks!Sunday the 12th of May I achieved my first season’s victory at the Trofee Maarten Wynants, a 1.1 UCI race in Belgium. The circuit we had to ride in was totally flat, but with narrow streets and the race was 130km long. [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
It has been successful here in London! Me, Simona Frapporti, Vittoria Guazzini and Silvia Valsecchi have reached a very “heavy” third place in the team pursuit. Of course the time, 4’23”1, wasn’t one of our best, but I’m really satisfied because of three reasons: - We girls have never raced together because we have been [...]
My home’s training period has been interrupted by an unexpected convocation at the track’s World Cup in London. Yesterday I arrived in the english town the meet my team pursuit’s teammates. My condition is not one of the best, but I hope to be helpful and to give my best to achieve the best result [...]
