Roberto Ferrari (born 9 March 1983) is an Italian former professional cyclist, [2] who competed professionally between 2007 and 2019 for the Tenax, LPR Brakes–Farnese Vini, De Rosa–Stac Plastic, Androni Giocattoli–Venezuela, [3] and UAE Team Emirates teams.
Ferrari was born in Gavardo. After stage 3 of the 2012 Giro d'Italia in Horsens, Denmark, Ferrari was relegated from 10th to 192nd position after the race jury ruled that he was responsible for a crash that brought down world champion Mark Cavendish and race leader Taylor Phinney since he swerved from the left to the right side of the road in the final meters. [4] He stated after that mishap that "I don't care what is going on behind me". He gained extensive disapproval with this statement, from within the professional peloton and from the public. [5] Ferrari later won stage 11 – the longest stage of the race – in a sprint finish in Montecatini Terme. [6]
