Giancarlo Bellini (born 15 September 1945 in Crosa) is an Italian former road bicycle racer who won the mountains classification in the 1976 Tour de France.[2] He also won a stage in the 1978 Giro d'Italia.[3]

Bellini won the first edition of the Amateur Giro d'Italia in 1970 before spending three years at Molteni in the service of Eddy Merckx.[4]

If doping controls to the standard that the sport has in 2024 existed then Bellini would've finished eighth in the 1978 1978 Giro d'Italia.[5]
