She has regularly competed in cyclo cross at World Cup events, and represented Italy in the sport at 11 editions of the world championships between 2009 and 2021.

She took up the sport at age 16 when she bought her first mountain bike with money she had earned from a summer job. (teamlunachix.com, 10 Mar 2016; evalechner.it, 18 May 2012)

She became interested in cycling as a child while watching the Tour de France and Giro d'Italia with her father. (evalechner.it, 18 May 2012)

General Interest

General
MULTI TALENTED
She has had a successful international career in both cyclo cross and mountain biking. "I have grown to like cyclo cross more and more over the years, but I love both disciplines and it is difficult to say which one I like more. Cyclo cross is a discipline that fascinates me a lot and I find it a lot of fun. But mountain biking is the discipline with which I started." (mtb-vco.com, 22 May 2020)

LOVE OF HORSES
She owns several horses, and enjoys spending time with them in the off-season. "I have four horses and a pony. When I was little we didn't have the money to afford one or more horses, so I told myself that as soon as I got the chance, I would buy one. I love taking care of them and riding them. And then the silence: after weeks of training, travel, races, events, statements, and interviews, with them I can enjoy the silence. They don't ask questions." (suiveur.it, 30 Jan 2020)
