Raschiani twice won in Romania thanks to the achievements of Astori and Ceddia

PAVIA

Nicolò Astori and Laura Ceddia give the Raschiani Triathlon Pavese two world junior duathlon championships. Astori won the men’s ranking and Ceddia paired with the blue Davide Menichelli the duathlon mixed relay 2×2 of the world championship held in Targo Mures, Transylvania, Romania.

«Astori – explains the president Andrea Libanore – played an exceptional race, winning the individual title, also thanks to an exploit in the last stage on a bicycle. As soon as he got off the two wheels he took an unbridgeable advantage. Ceddia won the world title in the 2×2 mixed relay with the other blue Davide Menichelli. Balanced race up to the third fraction, when Menichelli takes the lead and passes the winning baton to Laura, who crosses the finish line first with cunning and strategy ».

Libanore, who in addition to being president of the Raschiani Triathlon Pavese, is also vicar vice president of Federtriathlon, is doubly happy: “Two world championships for our club and for our national team – underlines – Nicolò Astori is coached by Massimo Strada and Laura Ceddia from Massimo Previtali. Astori is in the spotlight of the blue staff, while Ceddia since she was coached by Previtali has made an important qualitative leap forward, so much so as to bring her to the fore and deserve the call-up to the national team ». The medals for Raschiani could have been three. “It’s true – concludes Libanore – Astori and Eleonora Demarchi finished in third place in the duathlon mixed relais 2×2, but the regulation deprived them of the bronze, even though they gained third place with two minutes ahead of Romania I, privileged as it was not on the podium. more athletes from the same nation can go on ». –
