What does the bicycle represent to me ?
For the bike is a myth, a monument, every time I see her I am moved, between me and her there is a bond inside; in the blood, our souls are intertwined, I talk to her often and I consider her a companion of life and adventures, I have never hated the bike even after the greatest exertions; I have always thought that in the end she, whatever happens is and stays there with me ready to go again.

What is victory for me ?
Victory is a mirage, a beautiful dream that I often have and have been lucky enough to live in reality.
It is a weight you take off your heart, a liberating scream you shout to the sky, the roar of a lion, it is the blood flowing and the meaning, the ultimate quest of every athlete who competes, even if it is undeclared, there is no athlete who has not dreamed of it or longed for it over and over again.

What does Belgium represent to me?
It is a home, a place that has given me a chance to start again, I will never be grateful enough to this country for allowing me to express myself with freedom and peace of mind, to have learned so much, discovered so much: it is the home of cycling, the temple, the university, the playground, the arena, it is simply: “Flanders…”
And last but absolutely not least, it allowed me to meet Glenn , my partner with whom I share my life, my passions, aspirations and very exciting future and present plans.

What does it mean to me to be a Psychologist, and to be a therapist ?
While cycling is a means to grow body and soul, being a therapist is a calling, a mission, a calling for which there is no turning back; helping others to take or find the path they were looking for or that is right for them is my greatest satisfaction and accomplishment, conveying messages of life and growth with my heart, spreading a message is a duty.
I have many projects, in December I finished a master’s degree in Hypnosis at Nicoletta Gava’s School, which provided me with a unique technique, Eriksonian hypnosis, to deal with many situations and needs in everyday life as well as in sports.

What is ASD Women Cycling Project ?
It is an ITALIAN Women Élite team, born in January 2021, at the beginning of its 3 season of activity, which has given itself 5 years, as a goal, to grow and see where it can go.
It was created by me with the help of my family, but the initial idea came from my partner Glenn, with whom I share every decision of this project.
It’s a daily challenge, one that has tested us over and over again, it hasn’t always been easy, and there will certainly be many more hurdles to face.
When I think back to when I started in 2021, I had to deal with a totally new reality, where you had to think about everything: from the invoice to the sponsor, to the water bottles to fill with salts, to the bulletins to fill out for participation in international competitions and everything that goes between… for me it was really a challenge, which personally really tested me, as an athlete, on the other hand, it gave me so much energy and motivation, as well as responsibility.
In 2021 when we started my goals/dreams were two: to start at a UCI race with the team and to win a race with my jersey, the second one I am still working on, the first one has been largely achieved having to my credit in 2022 15 uci races and 3 top 10, never I would have thought to start 2023 com 16 girls from various nations, all in training in Spain with already two international races one one day and one stage race scheduled in March.
