Biography

Dino Porrini is a former Italian road cyclist. As an amateur (1973-77) he won Milano-Busseto and the Caduti Navaressi Cup in 1975, the Gennari Trophy and the Città di Melzo Cup (both in 1976), and the 1977 Freccia dei Vini.

Internationally, he was mainly used in the team time trial under coach Edy Gregori. He won a gold medal at the 1975 Mediterranean Games, and finished 11th at the Montréal Games the following year. His greatest success came at the 1977 World Championships, when he helped Italy to a team time trial silver medal. Porrini turned pro, but was in the peloton for only 3 years (1978-80) riding for Mecap and Hoonved-Bottecchia. His best result came on 30 May 1979 when he won stage 13 (Aosta-Meda) of the Giro d’Italia, in which he finished 108th overall on GC.
