Biography

Righi began riding in 1984 and turned pro in 2000 with team Alexi. He has typically ridden as a domestique, and unlike many riders that have breakout years, his improvement has been slow, yet steady. He has twice competed in the Giro d’Italia, the Tour de France, and the Vuelta a España.
