Career
Born in Iseo, Bono turned professional in 2006 with Lampre–Fondital. He took his first professional wins in 2007, winning stage six at Tirreno–Adriatico – soloing away from his breakaway companions Enrico Gasparotto and Giovanni Visconti with 4 kilometres (2.5 miles) remaining[1] – and stage three of the Tour de Romandie, having been in a breakaway with Fumiyuki Beppu and Marco Pinotti before outsprinting Beppu on the line.[2] Between those victories, Bono also finished third at the Klasika Primavera, behind Caisse d'Epargne teammates Joaquim Rodríguez and Alejandro Valverde.[3]
Bono did not win another race for another four years, until he won the penultimate stage of the Eneco Tour from a three-man breakaway in August 2011, holding off the main field by six seconds.[4] Throughout the remainder of his career, Bono largely worked as a domestique,[5][6] before retiring at the end of the 2018 season.[7]
