Gianbattista Baronchelli (born 6 September 1953) is an Italian retired professional
road racing cyclist (1974–1989). He obtained a total of 94 victories.[citation needed
]
Baronchelli was born in
Baby Giro, and he was thought destined to win the Giro d'Italia.[1] Although he knew the director of the Molteni team, they did not sign him, as they already had Eddy Merckx as their team captain, so Baronchelli signed a contract at the SCIC team.[1]
He was overall second at the
1977. His other main accomplishments were a silver medal at the 1980 World Championships and two victories at the Giro di Lombardia (1977 and 1986).[2]
Baronchelli started in the Tour de France twice, in 1976 and 1979, but both times did not finish the race.[3] He won the Giro dell'Appenino six times in succession from 1977 to 1982.
