Masotti qualified for the Italian squad, as a 34-year-old in men's Madison at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing by receiving an automatic berth from UCI based on his top-ten performance in the Track World Rankings. [4] Teaming with two-time Olympian Angelo Ciccone, Masotti 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.
