Team Report from MASSI ISB SPORT, ISB SPORT Ambassador
A very positive assessment from the MASSI ISB SPORT team
Good feelings before heading to the Cape Epic.
The team concludes its participation in the Andalucía Bike Race, a top-level HC event of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI), held in a spectacular setting and with a very high level of competition, with satisfaction.
Lineup
The team fielded two 100% Massi ISB Sport pairs: Tessa Kortekaas – Mónica Calderón and Martí Aran – Axel Boudial. A third pair, combined with the Metalurgica Veneta Pro Team, consisted of Costanza Fasoli and Maria Zarantonello.
Women’s Category
Their performance was outstanding, with daily podium finishes: three second-place finishes and two third-place finishes. Tessa Kortekaas and Mónica Calderón’s third-place finish in the overall standings was particularly noteworthy, confirming their consistency and competitiveness throughout the week.
Costanza Fasoli and Maria Zarantonello secured fourth place in all stages except the first, finishing the race with a commendable fourth place overall.
Men’s Category
In the men’s category, Martí Aran and Axel Boudial delivered a solid performance, improving their positions in the overall standings day by day. However, in the final stage, they were forced to abandon the race after being involved in a crash caused by a rider from another team. Despite the setback, there were no serious physical consequences.
