Enrico Gasparotto is an Italian professional road racing cyclist for UCI ProTour team Astana, which he joined in 2009. Born in Sacile, Gasparotto turned professional in 2005 with Liquigas-Bianchi and stayed with the team for three years. At the 2007 Giro d'Italia, Gasparotto led his Liquigas squad to a stage 1 Team time trial win and wore the pink jersey the following day. Gasparotto achieved his first Classics victory at the 2012 Amstel Gold Race; he won the race in an uphill finish, after �scar Freire was caught 90 m before the finish line, and Gasparotto out-sprinted Lotto-Belisol's Jelle Vanendert and Peter Sagan of Liquigas-Cannondale. One week later, he took part in Li�ge?Bastogne?Li�ge, finishing third by beating a small group to the sprint in a race won by fellow Astana teammate, Maxim Iglinsky. At the Vuelta a Espana, bad luck hit Gasparotto and the Astana squad on the very first stage, a 16.5 km Team Time Trial held in Pampeluna. His team-mates Paolo Tiralongo, Alexsandr Dyachenko, Andrey Zeits and Gasparotto himself crashed in an accident that was not picked up by the television cameras.
