Cesare Benedetti
“My strength is my perseverance during an entire season.”
Cesare Benedetti is an all-round rider with special qualities on short climbs, which brought him some successes back in 2009: For three days, Cesare was the overall leader at the Baby Giro and claimed two second-place finishes at the Trofeo Piva and the Giro della Val d’Aosta. Most recently, he managed to claim third place during a stage at the Tour of Britain, and he proved his attacking style during a stage at the Tour de Suisse, which won him the distinction of “Most aggressive rider”. He has been one of the most loyal riders for Team NetApp since the very beginning and can be counted on in any situation.
