“When something gets stuck in my head, it doesn't leave, and now the bike has gotten stuck in it”, explains Paula Blasi, one of the Catalan athletes of the moment. This weekend she achieved the greatest success of her career, winning the 12th edition of the Amstel Gold Race, held between Maastricht and Valkenburg, with a route of 158.1 kilometers. A prestigious race where she beat the best female cyclists in the world with a great attack and in which she was not initially supposed to participate, but was called up by her team, UAE, at the last minute because other more experienced cyclists were missing. "I will need a few weeks or months to realize it. It's my first time in the Ardennes and I've had problems with positioning, I can't believe what has just happened to me", she explained euphorically.
