	Professional Cycling Palmarès Site \| Biographies: Claudio Chiappucci
		Winner of several of the Italian Semi-classics, Chiappucci will be best remembered for his constant attacking in the Tour de France, and in particular for the spectacular victory at Sestrieres in 1992.
		Claudio Chiappucci rose to prominence in the 1990 Tour de France.
		Thereafter, Chiappucci was a bona-fide star, but perhaps he started to believe too much in his own reputation for epic attacks.

	1991 Milan-San Remo. (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		And in the person of Claudio Chiappucci (Carrera), the Italian former domestique whose hard-fought duel with Greg LeMond in the 1990 Tour de France made him an overnight star, and who maintained his form to finish the year ranked number two in the world, these two criteria were admirably met.
		Certainly, Chiappucci was entitled to the hysterical applause of the tifosi and the winner's laurels at San Remo's Corsa Cavallotti, but the muddied and grinning Carrera rider also owed a lot to his Italian team-mate, Guido Bontempi.
		Chiappucci, tucked into the slipstream of the huge Italian, was one of five riders who joined the chase, the others being Sorensen, Frenchman Charly Mottet (RMO), Spain's Marino Lejarreta (ONCE) and Dutchman Adri Van der Poel (Tulip).

		In 1994, during his second participation to the Giro d'Italia, he became known after winning two mountain stages and finishing 2nd overall after Eugeni Berzin and before Miguel IndurÃ¡in, who had won the last two editions of the Giro.
		He would probably have won that Giro if his team had not asked him to help their leader, Claudio Chiappucci, during the first mountain stages, where he lost a lot of time to Berzin.
		Pantani made his Tour de France debut in 1994 finishing 3rd overall, but he did not win a single stage even though he attacked and left behind him IndurÃ¡in (the Tour winner) during several stages.

		Then, in 1990, it was Italian Claudio Chiappucci who brought the masses to their feet by making his own pilgrimage to the grotto just before the start of stage 16 to Pau.
		Many joked that Chiappucci, then wearing the yellow jersey thanks to the 10 minutes he gained in the winning four-man break on stage 1, was in need of a miracle.
		It was obvious that LeMond had now regarded Chiappucci as a threat, unlike the first days when his spell in yellow was labeled as mere opportunism destined to run dry.

	Tour Story
		Claudio took the camera away from Ale a few kilometers back as a kind gesture and to motivate him to move on.
		Claudio was smart and got in the van but Ale insisted on going down the 20 kilometer descent to catch up with the other boys and make sure they were all at the meeting point.
		Although it was not our final night together, Claudio was leaving the next day so we handed out to everyone their award certificate with all the mountain passes written on them that they overcame and Claudioís signature.

		That same elegance ensured that his "game face," his appearance, never changed, even on the steepest climbs or during the most strenuous time trials.
		"You'd see him there, attacking," Chiappucci said, "with that smile on his face, and you couldn't tell whether he was tired, faking it or laughing at you." "I usually don't show my emotions," Indurain would say.
		Long before his fifth consecutive Tour, Indurain was prepared to face the day when there would be fewer victories, each with diminishing importance.

		The last couple of times a stage has finished here after scaling the Aubisque were in 1999 (when Spaniard David Etxebarria out-sprinted a small breakaway group) and 1993 (when Italian Claudio Chiappucci saved his until-then-failed Tour with a similar stage win).
		Among those hoping to "do an Etxebarria or Chiappucci" are Jörg Jaksche of Liberty Seguros, Michael Boogerd of Rabobank, and Botero of Phonak.
		It would also be great to see some aggressive riding from the likes of Davitamon-Lotto's Evans, Phonak's Landis or Gerolsteiner's Leipheimer.

		Just behind the Panaria team loomed the Carrera squad, where team captain Chiappucci was looking to stay in position for the final attack at the finish.
		Riding with wild abandon (he nearly careened off the road twice), the popular Chiappucci never stood a chance of catching Richard, who stayed ahead of Chiappucci to win by an easy 43-second margin.
		Still, when he heard Chiappucci was on the prowl, Richard didn't take it lightly.
