One-day races and Classics Davide Cassani (born 1 January 1961) is a former road cyclist and cycling commentator on Italian television from Italy.

In 1986 he moved to Carrera, where he supported figures such as Claudio Chiappucci, Roberto Visentini and Stephen Roche; Cassani later raced for Gewiss–Bianchi, Ariostea, GB-MG and Saeco.

After retiring from cycling, he became a commentator at Italian public broadcaster RAI.

His comment, coupled with other issues concerning Rasmussen, led to his expulsion from the Rabobank team.

The claim was first made a week or so before the controversy exploded — as a routine comment during the Rai Tre afternoon coverage of the Tour.
