Cesare Benedetti (born 3 August 1987) is an Italian professional road bicycle racer who rides for UCI Professional Continental Bora–Argon 18.[1]
Born in Rovereto, Benedetti has competed as a professional since 2010, competing for the Team NetApp team since turning professional. He was also a member of the GS Gavardo Tecmor and De Nardi teams as an amateur, and also spent the second half of the 2009 season as a stagiaire with the Liquigas team.[2] Benedetti, and Team NetApp,[3] made their Grand Tour début at the 2012 Giro d'Italia,[4] where Benedetti exceeded the team's expectations of a top ten stage placing,[5] by taking fifth place during the sixth stage of the race.[6] Benedetti had been part of an eleven-rider breakaway at the start of the stage, but after Androni Giocattoli–Venezuela's Miguel Ángel Rubiano went clear, Benedetti remained with another three riders to the end of the stage.
