EUROTRACK 2020: SIDI GETS THE GOLD MEDAL IN THE SCRATCH

The Italian National Team opened the European Track Championships with an exciting gold medal in the first day of competitions. Martina Fidanza is now the Scratch European champion, thanks to a sensational finale. The Italian athlete made a spectacular comeback, overtaking the fugitive Belarusian with just 100 meters to go.

It’s been a race that the rider from Bergamo herself defined as difficult and challenging, but she managed to keep self-confidence and focus, gaining a success that further enriches the palmares of this young cycling talent.

The new European champion, who chose to wear the Sidi Wire 2 model for her cycling season on both the road and the track, said: “If this shoe is the most used by sprinters, there must be a reason. To me, it performs wonderfully. On the track: it is reliable, safe and gives me the stamina I need to endure extreme efforts and sprints. This time, I had to recover almost a lap on my opponent and had the strength to contest the sprint. I was able to count on the stiffness and lightness of the sole that allows me to manage the changes of intensity without worrying. I also honestly love the design: it's snappy and makes you want to race and win. "
