Vittoria Guazzini 🇮🇹 into the U23 hot seat, and 2nd overall! What a performance from the young Italian! #Wollongong2022
In her first season with the WorldTour team, Vittoria Guazzini delivered for FDJ Nouvelle Aquitaine Futuroscope. During grand tours such as Tour de France Femmes and Ceratizit Challenge by La Vuelta, she proved to be a pivotal member of the team.
“My teammates are happy to race with me because when I have to help by never hold anything back. Like I go full gas until the work is done,” Guazzini described her first year with the WordTour team to VeloNews. “I know that in some races, this is my job. I’m very happy to do it. I’m very committed to what I have to do, and everyone in the team is, so we really work hard together.”
She also achieved some individual achievements in addition to her team performance. The Bretagne Ladies Tour CERATIZIT was won by her, as well as gold at the Mediterranean Games WE - ITT. “If someone told me this at the beginning of the season, maybe I wouldn’t have believed it. It’s a very good thing, and I hope in the future, I can have more,” said Guazzini.
“The big goal for me with the national team is the team pursuit at the Olympics because we’ve been working together since we were juniors,” Guazzini said. “This is a dream that is growing up with us, and we will do our best to achieve our dreams. But for sure, also the time trial will be another goal for me. First, I need to be selected, and then if I am selected, I will try to do my best also in the time trial,” concluded Guazzini.
