Marta Bastianelli is set to retire from a 20-year professional cycling career after competing in her home stage race at the Giro d'Italia Donne. The Italian, who races for UAE Team ADQ, has stated in an interview with Bici Pro that she is ready to take the next step beyond racing.
"I know that the Giro will be the last race, and I'm actually starting to make it happen. This is how things go, the last race is approaching. They were days spent with great tranquillity. I've always made my way, thinking about what awaits me tomorrow. One day at a time. And I must say that I am more and more convinced of my choice," Bastianelli said.
