The magical moment of Italy in sport continues: Elisa Balsamo wins the World #Flanders 2021 and gives another immense joy to the Italian national team, who had celebrated the Under 23 world title with Filippo Baroncini.

Now it's up to men. And remember to line up the lineup at Fantacycling !

We run for the rainbow jersey. Eddy Merckx , one day, said that being dressed in those colors, "it was as if the sky fell on your head ." Maurizio Crosetti once wrote in Repubblica , “ the iris is like a Pope's habit: he becomes truly pontiff only when he wears it, up until two minutes before he was a cardinal terrified by the enormity of destiny. Perhaps, that symbol makes you pedal harder. Perhaps, it is only fatigue that fades into joy, or the opposite. We all run on the frontier of what we dreamed of being, of what we are or have not been. But very few have a border to know that yes, it was all true ”. Because even when the shirt is returned after a year, the hem on the half sleeve or long sleeve remains.

Blue , red , black , yellow and green : the colors are those of the five Olympic circles. Not the rainbow. And never mind if the British and the Americans call it rainbow jersey , arcoíris the Spanish, arc-en-ciel the French.
