My name is Vittoria Bussi and I am a mathematician. And a professional cyclist.
In 2018 I conquered the World Hour Record on a bicycle track: 48.007 km. In September 2021 my record was broken.
In 2023 I'm ready to take it back, and this is " Road 2 Record ".
Almost ready. Because accessing the hour record involves huge expenses, and to complete the budget that serves to formalize my attempt, I need your help.
Why should you help me?
Because the record is something that goes beyond the sporting result. It represents a possibility that you give me today and that tomorrow will be the dream of a young cyclist; the possibility of believing and going all the way despite the often tortuous roads ahead for those who choose to be an independent athlete and entrepreneur of herself.
Everything I've learned and received over the years, on and off the track, I want to give back .
With my mathematical skills I contribute to the aerodynamic and technological studies of the project: I intend to break down the 50km wall to bring the women's record into the same 'window' as the men's.
I fight to promote a cultural change so that road safety is no longer a hope but a reality.
I am committed to ensuring that women's cycling is treated on an equal footing with men's. Therefore my desire is to found a cycling academy dedicated to a new generation of athletes, girls who are aware of their value, beyond the result.
Because sport changes lives. I tried it on my skin.
On the track I seem alone against the clock, but I'm never alone because I bring with me all the people who believe in my fight. Thanks to those who want to support me in this new venture .
