Marta Bastianelli is set to retire after Giro d'Italia Donne. The former World Champion (2007), 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.
"This career lasted twenty years, I'm very serene. I've lived it calmly since the beginning, I've always tried to be professional so, as a result, it doesn't weigh me down, and I don't lose sleep over it. I'm ready to take this step."
"This team is a family to me because we moved from the context of Alé Cycling to the current UAE Team ADQ. We met new people who want to grow and carry on an important conversation with women. I found them very well, and I hope they continue to grow."
