The outstanding run of Federica Venturelli continues, as she claimed her third medal in just ten days.
After taking the bronze medal in the Women U23 Individual Time Trial at the UCI World Championships in Rwanda, and winning gold yesterday in the Women U23 Individual Time Trial at the European Championships in France, today the UAE Team ADQ rider added another podium finish with the silver medal in the Mixed Relay TTT alongside the Italian National Team.
The event took place in Étoile-sur-Rhône, covering 20 km for the women and 20 km for the men. Team Italy, with Venturelli among the key riders, finished in second place just 7 seconds behind France, while Switzerland secured the bronze medal, 40 seconds back.
Federica Venturelli will be back in action tomorrow in the U23 Women’s Road Race, where she will be joined on the start line by her UAE Team ADQ teammates Paula Blasi (Spain), Hannah Kunz (Germany), and Alena Ivanchenko (Russia).
