Close

Blasi began her athletic career in middle-distance running, as well as the duathlon and triathlon. After an injury in February 2024 forced her to stop running, she could only train on her bike and decided to join a cycling club at the age of 21. She immediately achieved numerous podium places in national races. After winning the Catalan road and time trial championships, she placed seventh in the Spanish time trial championships.[3] In the second half of the season, she finished fourth overall in the Tour de l'Avenir and the Giro della Toscana Int. Femminile – Memorial Michela Fanini, where she was also the best young rider. These results allowed her to sign with the UAE Development Team in 2025, before stepping up to UAE Team ADQ in May after taking wins at the Gran Premio della Liberazione and the Pointe du Raz Ladies Classic.[4][5]

In 2026, Blasi won her first major race, winning the Amstel Gold Race in a solo victory after a late attack.[6] Three weeks later, she won the overall and mountains classifications of La Vuelta after finishing second in the last two mountain stages.
