Career

edit

Rossi almost won the 1986 Tour of the Basque Country, after winning the first stage in a solo victory 3:40 ahead of the peloton. He held the lead all the way to the last stage, which was an eighteen-kilometer individual time trial. Irish cyclist Sean Kelly finished the time trial 3:58 ahead of Rossi, therefore taking the final victory by eighteen seconds over Rossi, who still managed to finish second.[2]

During his career, Rossi also won the Giro del Veneto in 1986 as well as the overall classification and a stage of the 1987 Settimana Internazionale di Coppi e Bartali.[3]
