Matteo Bono (born 11 November 1983) is an Italian former road bicycle racer, who competed professionally for UAE Team Emirates through various team iterations between 2006 and 2018. During his career, he took three professional victories – stage wins at the 2007 Tirreno–Adriatico, the 2007 Tour de Romandie and the 2011 Eneco Tour.
Career
[edit | edit source]Born in Iseo, Bono turned professional in 2006 with Lampre–Fondital. He took his first professional wins in 2007, winning stage six at Tirreno–Adriatico – soloing away from his breakaway companions Enrico Gasparotto and Giovanni Visconti with 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) remaining[1] – and stage three of the Tour de Romandie, having been in a breakaway with Fumiyuki Beppu and Marco Pinotti before outsprinting Beppu on the line.[2] Between those victories, Bono also finished third at the Klasika Primavera, behind Caisse d'Epargne teammates Joaquim Rodríguez and Alejandro Valverde.[3]
Bono did not win another race for another four years, until he won the penultimate stage of the Eneco Tour from a three-man breakaway in August 2011, holding off the main field by six seconds.[4] Throughout the remainder of his career, Bono largely worked as a domestique,[5][6] before retiring at the end of the 2018 season.[7]
