Angelo Ciccone (born 7 July 1980) is an Italian amateur road and track cyclist. [2] He has claimed four Italian national championship titles in track cycling (omnium, madison, and points race), and later represented his nation Italy in two editions of the Olympic Games (2004 and 2008). Ciccone currently races for the 2013 season with Cycling Team Friuli under his head coach Roberto Bressan. [1]

Ciccone competed at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, where he scored a total of forty-nine points (the victor got ninety-three) to grab the eighth spot in the men's points race. [3] In that same year, Ciccone also claimed a silver medal in men's omnium at the European Championships in Valencia, Spain, and eventually collected his first two Italian national championship titles in both team pursuit and madison. [4] [5]

At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, Ciccone qualified for his second Italian squad, as a 28-year-old, in two track cycling events by receiving an automatic berth from UCI based on his top-ten performance in the Track World Rankings. [6] In the men's points race, held on the second day of the program, Ciccone picked up a total of eight points without receiving an extra lap to score a thirteenth place in a 25-km, 10-lap sprint race. [7] [8] Teaming with Fabio Masotti in men's Madison three days later, Ciccone started out a 50 km, sixteen-sprint race for the Italian duo by taking the lap first over the entire field, but did not receive a single point and lost three laps in all sprints, dropping him and his partner off to fourteenth place. [9] [10] [11]

Four years later, at the 2012 European Championships in Panevėžys, Lithuania, Ciccone and his new partner Elia Viviani scored twenty points to end his eight-year medal drought with a bronze in men's Madison, finishing ahead of Swiss duo Tristan Marguet and Silvan Dilier by a three-point margin.
