Martina is based in La Salle, Aosta Valley, and is a Sport Science student.
Her story began at just five years old, the very first time she pinned a race number to her back. Since that day, the mountains have been her home, and the bike has been her voice. It has been a long journey from a little girl with big dreams to becoming a UCI Junior World Champion and eventually standing on the podium with a bronze medal at the UCI Elite World Championships. Representing Italy at the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 was the honour of a lifetime for Martina—but what truly drives her isn’t the medals around her neck. It’s the adrenaline, the resilience, and the pure joy of pushing her limits. Martina loves spending time in the mountains of the Aosta Valley, whether she’s exploring them on her bike or on her skis.
