Career

Casasola finished in sixth place in the U23 Cyclo-Cross World Championships in 2018, and won the Italian U23 cyclo-cross championships in 2019. Following this, she began competing professionally in 2022, competing in races in Italy and Switzerland, and she began competing regularly in Belgian cyclo-cross races in 2023. She signed for the Crelan-Corendon team in 2024. Following this, she finished in the top 3 in races in Essen and Overijse, and fourth in the European championships.[4] Her run of podium finishes continued throughout the 2024 season.[5]

Casasola won the X2O Trophy Brussels in February 2025, beating Marion Norbert-Riberolle by one second to record her first win of the season.[6] In October 2025, she won the second round of the Superprestige-Overijse, riding solo to victory ahead of Lucinda Brand.[7] However in November 2025 she crashed out of the European Championships, meaning she was unable to compete in races directly following the championships.[8]
