About Barbara
Hailing from the Dolomites of Trentino, Barbara is a climber well suited to the hilly Ardennes classics and stage racing. Having grown up in the mountains, Barbara has a natural affinity for those days on the bike when flat sections of road are few and far between. Her developing qualities as a GC rider were showcased by top-five finishes in the youth classifications of the Women’s WorldTour Itzulia Women and Vuelta a Burgos Feminas stage races.
Barbara brings a special sense of Italian community to Human Powered Health. She enjoys sharing her teammate’s ways of life, exchanging cooking recipes & tips, and sharing the many words and phrases that are typical of their home countries. Her aspiration is to become a big name in cycling and a healthy person off the bike.
