Velo, who started his career with Brescialat, is a talented time-trialist, winning the Italian National Time Trial Championship on three occasions—1998, 1999 and 2000. Since 2002, Velo has ridden as a domestique for Alessandro Petacchi, first at Fassa Bortolo. In 2005, Velo wanted to go join Matteo Tosatto at the Quick Step team,[1] but in the end joined Petacchi at the Domina Vacanze team,[2] but when that disbanded at the end of the year, they both moved to Milram at the start of 2006.[3] For the 2008 season, Velo moved to join Tosatto at the Quick Step team.[4]
