Hidenori Nodera ( 野寺秀徳 Nodera Hidenori) (born June 7, 1975, in Izu, Shizuoka Prefecture) is a former Japanese professional racing cyclist. Graduating from Hosei University, Nodera became a professional in 1998 with Shimano Racing, the team operated by Shimano. He joined the Italian team Colpack-Astro in 2001 and became only the second Japanese to complete the Giro d'Italia, after Masatoshi Ichikawa in 1990.[1] Returning to Shimano, he continued to ride in both Europe and Asia, becoming Japanese national champion in 2005 and 2008.
