Bronzini third at the UCI Track World Championships
Giorgia Bronzini, the world champion on the road and the 2009 points race world champion was satisfied with the bronze medal in the women’s 25km points race.
“I rode for the gold, but I’m happy – it wasn’t the day for me,” said Bronzini. “When Sharakova got away that was the end for my gold medal hopes. I stayed in the pack and then waited to take some sprints to get into the medals. I was happy because I had good sensations in the race, and I hope to have this form for the scratch race on Saturday.”
