Aldo Parecchini

Aldo Parecchini, born on 21 December 1950, is a retired Italian road bicycle racer. He began as an amateur and in that status competed in the individual road race at the 1972 Summer Olympics. He then turned professional and rode from 1973 to 1980. In that professional career he started the Tour de France in 1974 and again in 1976, and in 1976 he won stage 6 of the race, the result for which he is chiefly recorded. A stage win in the Tour de France is a notable achievement because the race is made up of many daily stages, each with its own winner. The English Wikipedia article is short and gives these career facts, and points to the official Tour de France results page for his rides. He is catalogued here as an Italian road cyclist with Olympic and Grand Tour appearances.
