Biography
Bruseghin is a time-trial specialist with a long history of near-victories. He turned pro in 1997 with team Brescialat, but it wasn’t until 2006 that he finally won the Italian national time trial championship, and most recently, the individual time trial on stage 13 of the 2007 Giro d’Italia.
