Laura Delnevo

Being Italian, Laura has always felt an affinity with cycling and grew up listening to the amazing stories of Coppi and Bartali, watching Il Giro, getting excited about Pantani's climbs, and having a laugh about Cipollini's outfits!

After moving to London Laura began cycle commuting, before joining her local club Islington CC where she developed a passion for road cycling. As well as local TTs and criterium races, Laura can often also be found riding sportives in the south of England. This year will be her first European challenge and first time riding in the Alps with the Stelvio Granfondo.
