Marta Bastianelli (born 30 April 1987^[6]) is an Italian former professional racing cyclist, who competed as a professional from 2006 to 2023. Bastianelli won the women's road race at the 2007 UCI Road World Championships ahead of Marianne Vos and Giorgia Bronzini,^[7] and also won the equivalent race at the 2018 European Road Cycling Championships, again beating Vos.

Professional career

Born in Velletri, near Rome, Bastianelli rode for the Safi–Pasta Zara–Manhattan team from 2006 to 2008. On 5 July 2008, Bastianelli tested positive for a banned substance, the stimulant fenfluramine which can be found in dietary aids. It was found in her urine A sample during a routine doping control at the under 23 European championships held in Verbania, Italy.^[8]^[9] She was subsequently dropped from the Italian team for the 2008 Summer Olympics and handed a one-year ban by the Italian National Olympic Committee. Bastianelli appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to overturn the ban,^[10] however the CAS instead extended her ban to two years after the Union Cycliste Internationale appealed, arguing that the initial ban was too lenient.^[11]

She competed at the 2020 Summer Olympics, in the road race.^[12]

Personal life

Bastianelli is married and has a daughter, born in 2014.^[13]
