Cesare Benedetti

“Consistancy, determination and discipline are my strengths as a bike rider.“

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. In 2012 he claimed a fifth place in the sixth's stage of the Giro d'Italia and most recently he claimed second place in the overall Mountain Classification of the 2013 edition of Tirreno-Adriatico. He has been one of the most loyal riders for Team NetApp-Endura since the very beginning and can be counted on in any situation.
