Brugg, Switzerland ,February 14 ,1964 ) is an Italian former professionalroad racing cyclist .Biography
Bugno was a versatile rider, able to do well in different races. He won numerous stages in the Tour de France, and the
Milan-Sanremo classic in 1990. In 1991 he won theClásica de San Sebastián , and in 1994 he won theRonde van Vlaanderen .Bugno's greatest success was the double victory in the World Championship. In 1991 he beat
Steven Rooks of theNetherlands andMiguel Indurain ofSpain , and in 1992 finished ahead ofLaurent Jalabert ofFrance andDmitri Konyshev ofRussia .Bugno's performance in the Grand Tours, however, was over-shadowed by
Miguel Indurain . Bugno's victory in theGiro d'Italia in 1990 is considered one of the most dominating performances in that race - he led from start to finish. While he won the Giro in 1990, he finished second to Indurain in theTour de France in 1991 and third behind Indurain andClaudio Chiappucci in 1992. In a battle in the 1992 Tour, Indurain kept his calm despite Chiappucci's attack in theAlps ; Bugno had to chase and cracked in the final parts of the stage. Indurain was quoted as saying that Bugno was his biggest threat in the Tour.Bugno retired following the 1998 road season and is now a
helicopter rescue pilot. He piloted a camera helicopter for the Tour of Lombardy, on 20 October 2007, and for the whole Giro 2008.Essential palmarès
