Giovanni Visconti (cyclist)

One year later, he won the Italian National Road Race Championships on 1 July 2007, beating Paolo Bossoni (Lampre–Fondital) and Davide Rebellin (Gerolsteiner) at the end in a sprint.

At 12 kilometres (7.5 miles) to go Rebellin accelerated and left the main field, closely followed by Visconti, Bossoni, and Christian Murro (Tenax–Menikini).

"[7] In April 2012, now riding for Movistar Team, Visconti took his first victory of the season at the Klasika Primavera by outsprinting his own teammate Alejandro Valverde and Euskaltel–Euskadi's Igor Antón.

[9] He came back to racing and signed a victory at the Circuito de Getxo, where his puncheur qualities served him well on the final climb, where he outsprinted Danilo Di Luca.

[11] In December, it has been announced by the Italian National Olympic Committee that Visconti was suspended for 3 months and would have to pay a 10,000 Euros fine since he worked with doctor Michele Ferrari, who had been banned for life for doping athletes.
