BePink-Bongioanni at the Brabantse Pijl

In Belgium, debut for the new entry Carmela Cipriani

The first part of the season for BePink-Bongioanni is in full swing with an April packed with prestigious events, both abroad and in Italy.
On Wednesday, April 10, the Lombardian team will once again be in Belgium for one of the most anticipated Classics of the year, the Brabantse Pijl.
The ninth edition of the UCI 1.Pro challenge will start from Lennik and conclude in Overijse after 134.9 km of racing, including 20 climbs, among them the S-bocht ascent (a steep section launched towards the white line) which will be tackled four times.

The lineup for the race includes Karolina Karasiewicz, Ana Vitória Magalhães, Prisca Savi, Angela Oro, and a new athlete.

CARMELA CIPRIANI NEW ENTRY TO THE TEAM – Indeed, at the Brabantse Pijl, Carmela Cipriani will debut in the BePink-Bongioanni jersey.

Hailing from Spoltore (PE), Abruzzo, Cipriani was born on November 11, 1996, and is a fast all-rounder. Having trained competitively in Tuscany, she also gained significant international experience in Dubai, competing with an Emirati team between 2021 and 2022.

In 2022, she celebrated victory in the Coppa Fiera di Comeana. Last season, wearing the colors of Isolmant – Premac – Vittoria, she achieved numerous noteworthy results, including second places at the Gran Premio Esperia in Rosa, Trofeo Rosa Città di Cantù, GP Città di Corridonia, third in the second stage of the Giro del Mediterraneo in Rosa, Coppa Ristorante Cibus, Trofeo Smania Idee Casa, Trofeo Rancilio Ladies, Giro della Provincia di Pordenone, and fourth in the GP della Liberazione and the Giornata Rosa in Friuli.

“I’m thrilled to be part of BePink-Bongioanni” ha detto Cipriani. “In the coming months, I’ll be able to compete in an important and international calendar, which is a great motivation for me. The goal is to further grow as an athlete and aim for some good results!”

“We are delighted to give the warmest welcome to Carmela,” said Team Manager Walter Zini. “Last year she managed to achieve noteworthy placements, and we are certain that she will be a valuable addition to the team. On Wednesday, we will see her in action in what will undoubtedly be a challenging race, and we have no doubt that she will make her mark. She is a young woman who, despite her youth, has already gained diverse experiences abroad, and this will certainly give her an extra edge, along with her determination and talent.”
