He is one of the greats of Italian cycling. In fifteen years in the top category, he wore the blue jersey multiple times, raced for four clubs (Carrera, Asics – CGA, Ros Mary - Amica Chips and Amica Chips - Costa de Almeria) always being one of the reference points and conquering thirty-two victories. He won the silver medal at the '94 World Championships, stood on the podium of the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France, fighting with Bugno and Indurain and with his feats, he excited and made many people passionate about cycling.

It is precisely that passion for cycling that still drives him today that pushed Claudio Chiappucci to put his experience at the service of a new team to face a new race: that for the Lombardy Regional Committee.

El Diablo will face this challenge alongside Gianluca Londoni, who last night through the internet officially announced his candidacy for the position of regional president of the Lombard committee, also communicating that in the next few days he will present in detail all the members of his group.
