In honour of a Champion

Three years ago, the 14th February 2004, a Big Champion left us.
His name, was Marco Pantani.

He used to get in fire our hearts on every mountains! He was simply the biggest one... Now, we like to think him cycling around the clouds, together with Coppi, Bartali, and all the others myths...

Go, go, go, great Pirate! You live again in our hearts!!!

In honour of Marco Pantani, one of the biggest cyclist of the history.

Important news!!! Championship postponed!

Hallo everyone!
I've got an important news. A lot of you have appreciated the idea of the Championship, but, due to the limited time, only a few would are able to organize the travel for April. So, unfortunately, we decided to postpone the World Championship of Diabetic Cyclist. It wouldn't be the 15th of April, that will be the 2nd Italian Championship. Of course, if you want, you can also participate as a normal cycling race, an occasion to know a lot of other Italian cyclists with diabetes.
But, take attention: this doesn't means that the WADAB is dead. On the contrary, this is the occasion to have a better organization of the competition. So, we are again waiting for national coordinators for the WADAB, that will have more time to collect cyclists and spread the news. This is important!
The World Championship for diabetics, will be probably in the same period of the next UCI World Championship on road, so around October 2008!!! We think that to the Championship will participate one team for each country, composed of a maximum of 10 cyclist each.
I think that this is a wonderful news: you have more time for the organization of the voyage, but, especially, for the training! Remember that this will be a competitive race!
I'll tell you more news as soon as possible. I also wait for more contacts for the details and information, for new adhesions, and for new National Coordinators candidatures.
Best wishes

Simone Donadello
