There will be 42 Italian athletes competing at the European Track Championships for Juniors and Under 23, scheduled from July 7-12 at the Cottbus Velodrome in Germany. The continental championship will award 44 European titles and will see 485 athletes from 32 countries competing, confirming itself as one of the central appointments for the growth of young track talents in Europe.

Italy arrives at the appointment strong with the results of recent years, during which it has consistently occupied top positions in the medal standings. Last year the final balance of the continental championship was 22 medals: 9 golds, 7 silvers and 6 bronzes.

Among the 42 Italian athletes present in Cottbus are also 11 athletes who won the European title last year in Anadia: Federica Venturelli (individual pursuit), Jacopo Vendramin (scratch), Davide Stella (scratch), Juan David Sierra (points race), Chantal Pegolo (points race), Ruben Ferrari (team pursuit), Stefano Antonio Minuta, Mattia Predomo, Matilde Cenci, Rebecca Fiscarelli and Siria Trevisan (Team Sprint). Trevisan herself also won the European title in the Women Juniors keirin.

The race program is intense as always, with titles being awarded throughout the week starting tomorrow when the male Team Sprint trios and pursuit specialists will take to the track.
