“Yesterday it seemed like an impossible feat even to think about, this result will go down in history, Italy will not forget it.” This is what the multiple Olympic champion Federica Brignone told ANSA, leaving the Monza racetrack after the success of Kimi Antonelli. “He had the pressure of racing in front of his home crowd – adds Brignone, who managed to win two golds at home at the Milan-Cortina Olympics just months after a serious injury – but he was clear-headed, a great. The race was a bit variable in the first laps and this certainly helped him but he only made the right choices, a lot of overtakes: it was something incredible, I can actually imagine what he felt.”
Federica Brignone, who yesterday handed the wheel to pole-man Pierre Gasly, met the number one of Formula 1, Stefano Domenicali, gifting him a replica of her racing helmet with the tiger, her symbol: “We must congratulate him for everything that the Circus is because it is not just a sporting event but 360 degrees. It involves everyone and it is something huge, it is an incredible machine that really works well. It is truly a wonderful experience.” Federica Brignone will be in Turin tomorrow morning for a physiotherapy session at JMedical after the operation and tonight she will watch her Milan on TV against Juventus.
