BePink literally dominated the seventh edition of the Vuelta Ciclista a El Salvador. The top two places in the general classification of the race belong to two BePink athletes: Noemi Cantele and Alena Amialisuik, both major players from the first fractions to the last. Strength, passion, guts, courage and determination are only a few of the ingredients that went in to this important success.


It’s a prestigious result, made all the better with the capture of three stages (two with Noemi plus the Team Time Trial) and no less than four jerseys. In addition to the leader’s “roja” jersey, Noemi also grabbed the jersey for best climber and the points’ jersey; Alena is the best in the classifications for the prime bonus sprints and BePink wins the special classification for teams. 


“We did it; now we can finally say it,” says Noemi Cantele. “I’m really happy, this is a fantastic result. This little roja shirt has a special value. It was hard, but thanks to impeccable teamwork BePink has achieved an important objective.”


“I’m very happy for Noemi and satisfied with the performances of the entire team,” explains D.S. Walter Zini. “The gals showed they are in top form. This jersey, which is super important and was strongly coveted and strived for, could be divided into six pieces, one for every woman, because every single one of them did their part! It isn’t easy to wear the leader’s jersey from day one and manage to hang on to it until the end, just as it isn’t easy to have full control over the race. Once again we have demonstrated maturity and team spirit.”

Veronique Fortin (Garrobo Texops) finished 6th on the final stage and 7th overall.
