Guido Messina

Guido Messina (4 January 1931 – 10 January 2020) was an Italian road and track cyclist.

He was born in Monreale, Italy, on 4 January 1931. On track he won five world titles in the individual 4000 m pursuit between 1948 and 1956, and a gold medal with the Italian team at the 1952 Olympics (individual pursuit became an Olympic event only in 1964, when Messina retired from cycling).
