Marta Bastianelli (born 30 April 1987[6]) is an Italian former professional racing cyclist, who competed as a professional from 2006 to 2023. Bastianelli won the women's road race at the 2007 UCI Road World Championships ahead of Marianne Vos and Giorgia Bronzini,[7] and also won the equivalent race at the 2018 European Road Cycling Championships, again beating Vos.

Professional career

[edit]

Born in Velletri, near Rome, Bastianelli rode for the Safi–Pasta Zara–Manhattan team from 2006 to 2008. On 5 July 2008, Bastianelli tested positive for a banned substance, the stimulant fenfluramine which can be found in dietary aids. It was found in her urine A sample during a routine doping control at the under 23 European championships held in Verbania, Italy.[8][9] She was subsequently dropped from the Italian team for the 2008 Summer Olympics and handed a one-year ban by the Italian National Olympic Committee. Bastianelli appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn the ban,[10] however the CAS instead extended her ban to two years after the Union Cycliste Internationale appealed, arguing that the initial ban was too lenient.[11]

She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics, in the road race.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Bastianelli is married and has a daughter, born in 2014.[13]
