After the major scare from Vittoria Guazzini's fall, another incident that should never happen in a race occurred at the Women's Italian Championship in Darfo Boario.

Letizia Paternoster was rammed by the jury car and narrowly escaped disaster. "Today something truly incredible happened. I've never experienced a situation like this, and while it was happening, it didn't seem real. I couldn't believe it - the 25-year-old from Fiamme Azzurre told us. - An organization car with the jury on board hit me from behind while descending. It "pulled me in" and I must have been dragged for ten meters. Fortunately, I'm fine. This absurd incident caused two spokes and my gear shifter to break. In short, thank God I didn't fall, but I experienced a lot of fear and goodbye race".

Then Letizia added an heartfelt appeal on Instagram in a story with a black background, to which we can only join: "Let's try to bring competent people to races because human lives are at risk".
