Marta Bastianelli

I stop and move.

I die, I don't die, I die, I don't die.

I say, I had to die in France, okay.

After three or four kilometers, another one comes off.

That is to say that I could no longer detach myself, because at the arrival we had to arrive in four, we were in six.

So I basically stay there, I don't even know how, I arrive cyanotic.

If they don't take me at the arrival, I fall.

That was one of my first experiences.

Now you can go home.

Grazie, mi accompagna all'aeroporto.

Però da lì, diciamo che già c'erano delle grandi persone che facevano parte del ciclismo, che hanno fatto parte per tanti anni del ciclismo, mi hanno detto avrai tanta strada, cioè avrai una lunga strada davanti a te.

And I thought, maybe it's not my sport, because all this fatigue, I can't do it.

Ah, you were a little demoralized.

I was a little scared, yes.

But then we did other races where they always went well, etc.

And in short, a world opened up.

Yes, they have always been linked to me because we come from a country that has always revolved around this sport, L'Ariano, my country of origin.

There have been great champions, etc.

And since I was a child, my parents have always been close to me, they have accompanied me everywhere.

Consider that for us the first race with women, the closest one, was in Tuscany.
