Marta Bastianelli

Because unfortunately in recent years the speeds have increased, young girls sprinted and battled more and more, unfortunately in Volata there is no... I mean...

As much as there can be, yes, as much as there can be respect, however, it is a bit lacking precisely because it is a moment of the race so unusual of the others and of the final moment that does not allow you to be so precise and honest with the others.

You want or do not want a skid, there is always one thing, so either you are on the piece or you close your eyes in such an abstract way or you brake and if you brake, obviously you lose position.

Goodbye.

How did they take it home?

Yes, in the meantime, the European Championship arrived in 2018 and so I put on the blue shirt again after a while, which I had been stuck between maternity and so on, so from there it was already a great victory.

And it was something that was missing in my baguette, so even there I already had a daughter, in short, it was a very glorious moment for me.

And after that, the Fiandre, a monument race that, let's say, I had in my head and in my heart forever.

Obviously, who is not a cyclist and thinks of a race like that, right?

Let's say I reached it after, think about the strangeness, after an operation.

I had an operation in winter on the adenoids and tonsils.

I had to remove the tonsils because I got sick again and again.

Whether you like it or not, I lost a lot of weight because I spent about a month and a half only on liquid canoes and so it was the only way to lose weight.

But I kept that situation so well, I felt just like I felt regenerated at that moment.

And I kept that condition for the whole winter period, even if then I did it in November, so from there there was little left for the classics of the Nord.

And I trained well, etc.

And that moment came.

I started in that season that I had already obtained before Fiandre, various victories, various important placements even in other classes than before.

Did you win the Ghent?

I won it in 2018.
