Gasparotto fared well at the Tirreno-Adriatico, where he was second overall, and he won a stage at the Three Days of De Panne and a stage and the final classification at the Ster Elektrotoer. But it was September that was his best month. He won the Giro di Romagna, narrowly finished second at the Coppa Placci and finished fourth in two stages of the Tour du Poitou Charentes.
