Career[edit]
Bertagnolli turned professional in 2002 with Saeco–Longoni Sport.
He signed for Amica Chips–Knauf, a new team in the 2009 season, though he switched teams to Diquigiovanni–Androni prior to the start of the Giro d'Italia.[1]
Bertagnolli announced his retirement from the sport after competing in the Italian National Championships in June 2012.[2] It later emerged that the Union Cycliste Internationale had launched disciplinary proceedings into Bertagnolli, in the light of an alleged anti-doping violation via his biological passport,[3][4] and he was given a sanction of 2 years and ten months as well as disqualified from results between 1 January 2003 to 18 May 2011.[5]
