Carlo Simonigh

Carlo Simonigh (born January 10, 1936 in Turin , † January 15, 2014 ) was an Italian track cyclist .

He started cycling in 1953 as a schoolboy . In 1956 and 1957 he was runner-up in the single pursuit at the national championships in Italy. In 1957 Carlo Simonigh was world champion in the single pursuit of the amateurs at the World Railroad Championships in Rocourt . There was a scandal: His compatriot Franco Gandini had initially been declared world champion by the competition judges and was already on the lap of honor when the decision was revised and Simonigh was declared the winner of the race. The following year he finished third in the same discipline at the World Railroad Championships in Paris. In 1959 he won the gold medal in the team pursuit with the Italian four-man team at the Mediterranean Games in Beirut .
