Career

In 1973, as an amateur, he won the Tour de l'Avenir and the Baby Giro, and he was thought destined to win the Giro d'Italia. ^[1] Although he knew the director of the Molteni team, they did not sign him, as they already had Eddy Merckx as their team captain, so Baronchelli signed a contract at the Scic team. ^[1]

He was overall second at the Giro d'Italia in 1974 and 1978, and third in 1977. His other main accomplishments were a silver medal at the 1980 World Championships and two victories at the Giro di Lombardia (1977 and 1986). ^[2]

Baronchelli started in the Tour de France twice, in 1976 and 1979, but both times did not finish the race. ^[3] He won the Giro dell'Appennino six times in succession from 1977 to 1982.
