Sonny Colbrelli faces disappointing results on regional elections tilt
Cycling
The results of the regional political elections in northern Italy held over the weekend were unfavourable for former riders Sonny Colbrelli and Claudio Chiappucci as they failed to secure bright results.
After retiring from professional cycling in 2022 due to cardiac difficulties, Colbrelli made the decision to join the Forza Italia party in January, aligning himself with Silvio Berlusconi. He articulated a strong commitment to advancing the world of sports through his political endeavors, and also expressed his desire to improve road safety in response to the large number of cyclists who lost their lives on Italian roads in the previous year.
In spite of his geographic proximity to Valle Sabbia, his hometown, he received only 1,387 votes in Brescia, ultimately placing fourth in the competition for a spot on the Lombardy regional council.
Running for the liberal centrists alongside Letizia Moratti in Monza during the Lombardy elections, Chiappucci was only able to secure 121 votes.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
