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.
By Simone Donadello and the WADAB.

You can be a WORLD CHAMPION!!!

Do you know that you can be a... WORLD CHAMPION??!!!
Yes, if you have diabetes mellitus, and if you like cycling, you can participate to the World Championship on road of cyclists with diabetes, that will be taken on the 15th of April in Italy!
Everyone can participate! From every country! But you have to contact your national coordinator (if available, look in the apposite list) or directly the Wadab association as soon as possible! There isn't a lot of time left!
The 1st Word Championship for Road Bikers with Diabetes will be in Manciano (Tuscany, Italy) on April 15th 2007.
To promote the event we will offer the local hospitality for 1 night (April 14th) to bikers with diabetes. WADAB will take care of awards for age categories with the 2007 world champion shirt. The race will be about 100 km along an hilly course.

The World Championship!

Hallo everyone from WADAB!
I can give you the date of the 1st World Championship on road for diabetic cyclists! It will be on the 15th of April, in Grosseto, around the wonderful hills of the Maremma, Tuscany, in the middle of Italy.
The occasion will be the race called "Gran Fondo Massimiliano Lelli", that you can find here: http://www.maxlelli.com (I'm sorry, but it's only in Italian, I'll write here every info that you need).
The association will provide you:

• the official cycling wears
• the prizes of the Championship
• a place where you'll pass the night
  

We're sorry, but we CAN'T provide you the voyage costs. Our sponsors don't let us.
But we can give you an advice: contact some local companies that are involved in diabetes. It's easy to find a sponsor for these events! Often diagnostic companies are interested. For example Novonordisk Italy are helping us very much. If you need some contacts, or you need some ideas, contact us.
If you need something, contact us!
More news will be available soon on the blog, so visit it, and spread the news to everyone interested, and leave there every comments you want! Tell this everyone!
Goodbye

Simone
