Giuseppe Guerini is a retired Italian professional road bicycle racer, born on 14 February 1970 and a native of Gazzaniga in Lombardy. Known throughout his career as a climbing specialist, he had pronounced success in the Grand Tours, finishing third in the Giro d'Italia in both 1997 and 1998 while riding for Team Polti, and winning stages of the Tour de France in 1999 and 2005. He is also remembered for the 1999 stage to Alpe d'Huez, when a fan taking a photograph knocked him off his bike close to the finish; he remounted and finished 21 seconds ahead of Pavel Tonkov. He rode for the German T-Mobile team from 1999 to 2007 and retired at the end of 2007.
