Gianni Bugno (Italian:[ˈdʒanniˈbuɲɲo]; born 14 February 1964) is a retiredItalian professionalroad racing cyclist.

Bugno was a versatile rider, able to do well in different types of races. He won numerous stages in the Tour de France, and theMilan–San Remoclassic in 1990. In 1991 he won theClásica de San Sebastián, and in 1994 he won theTour of Flanders.

Bugno's greatest success was the double victory in theWorld Championship. In 1991 he beatSteven Rooks of theNetherlands andMiguel Indurain ofSpain, and in 1992 finished ahead ofLaurent Jalabert ofFrance andDmitri Konyshev ofRussia.

Bugno's performance in theGrand Tours, however, was over-shadowed byMiguel Indurain. Bugno's victory in theGiro d'Italia in 1990 is considered one of the most dominant 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 ahelicopter rescuepilot. He piloted a camera helicopter for the Tour of Lombardy, on 20 October 2007, and for the whole of the2008 Giro d'Italia. He ran for a seat inLombard Regional Council in theLombard regional election, 2010 for the centre left coalition of political parties, but he was not elected.

He has remained involved with the Giro d'Italia by being one of the TV helicopter pilots for the Italian national broadcaster, RAI.

He is the former president of CPA (Association of Professional Cyclists). In November 2012, in the wake of theLance Armstrong doping scandal, he demanded that an independent anti-doping body be established. He stated that theUCI could not be trusted to enforce the rules.^[2]
