Marco Velo (born 9 March 1974) is a retired Italian professional road bicycle racer.
Professional career
Velo, who started his career with Brescialat, was seen as a talented time-trialist, winning the Italian National Time Trial Championship on three occasions—1998, 1999 and 2000. From 2002, Velo rode as a domestique for Alessandro Petacchi, first at Fassa Bortolo. In 2005, Velo wanted to join Matteo Tosatto at the Quick Step team, but in the end joined Petacchi at the Domina Vacanze team, but when that disbanded at the end of the year, they both moved to Milram at the start of 2006. For the 2008 season, Velo moved to join Tosatto at the Quick Step team.
