Juan Guillermo Brunetta

Juan Guillermo Brunetta (born August 25, 1975 in Palmar del Lago,San Juan) is an Argentine professional racing cyclist. He's most famous because of his unusual size for a cyclist. He's 2.09 m. and 95 kg. (6'11 and 217 Ibs). Like most cyclists out of San Juan and it's neighbouring state Cordoba, he started of as a track rider but has made the transition to the road and barely races in track these days. He's been one of the best time trialists for the last 6 years in Argentina, but he has raced most of his road career in Uruguay with the Villa Teresa team with much succes, especially in the time trials. The last 2 years he's been racing in Argentina again.
