Rossi was born in Cesena. His younger sister is the cyclocross rider Vania Rossi. Rossi was sacked by his Ceramica Flaminia team in 2010 after being implicated in a drug-dealing ring also involving his sister.[1] In 2014, Rossi courted further controversy when he was involved in a fight with Spanish cyclist Vicente García de Mateos at the 2014 Volta a Portugal.[2]
