Francesco Gavazzi (born 1 August 1984) is an Italian former professionalroad bicycle racer, who competed as a professional from 2007 to 2023.
Gavazzi was born inMorbegno. In 2012, Gavazzi participated in theTour of Beijing and won itsqueen stage leading to theGreat Wall of China. To add to the difficulty of the day, the air quality was deemed as "severely polluted" by the local authorities.[6] Gavazzi closed down an attack byTeam Sky'sEdvald Boasson Hagen and grabbed the victory.[7] His consistent placings in the other stages netted him the second spot in the overall classification behindTony Martin (Omega Pharma–Quick-Step).[8] However the win in Beijing was Gavazzi's sole victory during three years at Astana, and in November 2014 it was announced that had signed a one-year deal withSoutheast Pro Cycling for the 2015 season.[9]
