Superlative performance of the girls of the Italian quartet at the Track Cycling World Championships in Saint Quentin (France), in pursuit.
Martina Fidanza, Chiara Consonni, Vittoria Guazzini and Elisa Balsamo obtained the best time in the qualification, pedaling in 4'11 "011 and inflicting more than 2" to Great Britain (4'13 "117).
Third France, in delay of 2 "414, and fourth Australia at 4" 162. The Australians will be opposed to the blue in the first round tomorrow: whoever wins will go to the final (the other challenge is between Great Britain and France), while the defeated quartet will enter in a runoff with the other six teams that reached the quarterfinals: the two best times will be worth the final for third place.
