Two unforgettable days for the athletes of the team Valcar-PBM directed by Davide Arzeni and Matteo Filipponi.
A memorable page was written by Silvia Persico in the first leg of the Tour of Chongming Island (China) that conquered the 3rd place in the race won by Giorgia Bronzini.
This is an historical result, because for the first time the Valcar-PBM got to the podium that confirm the great wave of female young athletes ready for the major international stages.
“I want to thank my teammates” comment Silvia Persico “I feel sorry for Chiara Consonni that fell while we were together during the final sprint. After the fall I just followed closely Giorgia Bronzini and I just gave it all. I made it to conquer te 3rd place.”
The race was conducted by the blue fucsia that also lined up Allegra Arzuffi, Dalia Muccioli, Ilaria Sanguineti e Chiara Zanettin.
“We didn’t enter in the sprint because we knew that the sprinter teams would have close” Non siamo entrate nella fuga di giornata perché sapevamo che le squadre delle velociste avrebbero richiuso” continues Silvia Persico “then at the last kilometer Dalia Muccioli was great sprinting away”.
“At less then 13 Km from the finish line we attacked” says the former italian champion Dalia Muccioli“ but then we got back at 1,5km from the line. In the finale there waswa a fall but luckily without any consequenses. We are extremely happy for Silvia, that now wears the best-young shirt.”
