Avaí FME Florianópolis women claim Brazilian cycling silver in Brasília | OneFootball

The AVAÍ / FME Florianópolis / APGF cycling team finished as runner-up at the Brazilian Road Cycling Championships. The competition took place from June 24 to 28 in Brasília, Federal District, and featured 320 athletes from all over Brazil.

There were 15 laps on the tough circuit at Burle Marx Park, totaling a distance of 135 km. It was a highly tactical race with intense marking among the leading athletes, in which Avaí’s Tamires Fanny Radatz delivered a technical, hard-fought performance and claimed 2nd place in the Elite Women’s category.

Victory went to Wellyda Rodrigues, from Rio Claro. Avaí also had Mariana Borges de Andrade in the race, who suffered two flat tires and finished in 26th place. Sarah de Andrade Egi, making her debut at the Brazilian Championships, finished in 40th place. Fabiane Baggio de Meira crashed on the first lap and broke her bike, losing a lot of time and being unable to finish the race.

“This was another Brazilian Championship in which we achieved excellent results and continued to play a leading role in national cycling. It is important to highlight Tamires Fanny Radatz’s performance and the high level she is at, winning her fourth consecutive title in the time trial and the runner-up finish in the road race. Without a doubt, she is one of the great stars of Brazilian cycling and contributes greatly to the development of the sport in Brazil. This is yet another great result for the women’s team, which has been a benchmark in Brazil, from development levels all the way to the Elite category,” said Diones Chinelatto, technical coordinator and athlete for the Avaí team.
