He won the Grand Prix d'Europa in 1999 together with his teammate Raivis Belohvosciks and he won the 5th stage of the 2000 Tour de Pologne.
In 2001 he finished second in stage 15 of the Tour de France behind Belgian Rik Verbrugghe.
He had surgery on his ulna in November of 2001 and started training
again only in February 2002. He returned to competition in April 2002. The 2003 season brought some victories as he won the 4th stage in the Tour of Basque Country and the King of the Mountains
classification. In the Bici Vasca he crashed and broke his pelvis,
forcing recuperation. He has since fully recovered. His specialty is
in individual time trials.
Marco Pinotti won the Italian National Time Trial Championship in 2005.
