Italy spin

The Giro d'Italia (AFI: [ˈdʒi.ro]) (officially: Giro d& #39;Italy) is a three-week stage cycling competition, held in May in Italy with a different route each year. Sometimes a stage is also disputed in neighboring countries. It is one of the three Grand Tours, the second to appear historically. It ceased to be part of the UCI ProTour, like the other two Grand Tours, to later join the UCI World Ranking and UCI WorldTour.

The first Giro d'Italia began on May 13, 1909 in Milan with a total of 8 stages and 2,448 kilometers.

Three cyclists share the record for victories in this competition with five wins: Alfredo Binda (1925, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1933), Fausto Coppi (1940, 1947, 1949, 1952 and 1953) and Eddy Merckx (1968, 1970, 1972, 1973 and 1974).

The rider with the highest number of stage victories is Mario Cipollini with a total of 42. In the 2003 edition, he surpassed the record of 41 victories that Alfredo Binda had held since the thirties.

Since 1988 there has been a Women's Giro d'Italia, being one of the few women's races lasting more than a week together with the Grande Boucle and the Women's Tour de l'Aude (these have now disappeared), although unrelated to the one in men. In 2022 the Women's Tour de France was created.

History

The origins

Like the Tour de France with the newspaper L'Auto, the creation of the Giro d'Italia is tied to a sports newspaper, La Gazzetta dello Sport.

The rivalry with another Italian newspaper (Corriere della Sera) that organized the Giro d'Italia by car and planned to organize a Giro d'Italia by bicycle, led the journalist Tullio Morgagni to propose to its director Eugenio Camillo Costamagna the creation of a stage cycling race inspired by the Tour de France. La Gazzetta had previously already begun to organize cycling races such as the Giro di Lombardy in 1905 and the Milan-San Remo in 1907.

On August 7, 1908, under the leadership of Eugenio Camillo Costamagna, Armando Cougnet and Tullio Morgagni, the newspaper announced the birth of the Giro d'Italia, whose first edition would be in 1909, anticipating the Corriere della Sera.

First Edition

Luigi Ganna first Giro winner.

With the participation of 127 runners, on May 13, 1909 at 2:53 a.m. m. the first edition took off in Loreto square in Milan heading to Bologna. There were 8 stages for a total of 2,448 kilometres, running a stage every two or three days, since La Gazzetta dello Sport was a three-weekly publication. The regulation used was the same as that used in the Tour de France, with a classification by points according to the order of arrival in the stages and not a classification by time. Forty-nine cyclists managed to complete the course and the winner of that first edition was Luigi Ganna who added 27 points. His great rival, Giovanni Rossignoli, finished third with 40 points, but had times been taken into account, Rossignoli would have won by more than 37 minutes.

Before World War I

The first editions underwent various modifications: the stages varied from eight to twelve, in 1911 the race began and ended in Rome, in 1912 it was run by teams and in 1914 the points system was stopped to go to the classification by time.

Carlo Galetti was the first to win the race twice (1910 and 1911). In 1912, Galletti spent the least time running the course, but since he ran as teams, he won the Atala team (of which he was a member), in what might have been his third victory.

In 1913, the Tour de France switched to time classification. The Giro did so a year later, in 1914, the last edition before it was suspended due to the First World War. Alfonso Calzolari was the winner of that edition, beating the second by almost two hours.

The Binda Era

After the war, in 1919 the race dispute returned. Piedmontese Costante Girardengo was victorious in seven of the ten stages, taking the first of his two Giros (in 1923 he repeated the victory and won eight stages). In that 1919 edition there was the first foreign podium with the Belgian Marcel Buysse who finished third. Giovanni Brunero was another of the highlights of the 1920s, winning three Giros (1921, 1922 and 1926). A particular and unprecedented event to this day occurred in 1924 when a woman, Alfonsina Strada, participated. At a time when it was frowned upon for a woman to compete, Strada had ridden the Giro di Lombardy in 1917 and 1918 and in 1924 she entered the Giro. Although she did not appear in the first positions, she was not among the last either, until the eighth stage when she was disqualified for arriving out of time, although it was speculated that due to the criticism that was made, the organization decided to remove her from the race. Likewise, she was allowed to continue in the race but without time and she reached the end in Milan.

The 1920s saw the rise of one of the greatest cyclists of all time, Alfredo Binda, who won five Giros; 1925, 1927, 1928, 1929 and 1933. In total he achieved 41 stage victories, winning 12 of the 15 in 1927 and 8 consecutively in 1929. Binda's supremacy was such that La Gazzetta dello Sport in 1930 paid him 22,500 lire to did not run the Giro, in order to maintain the interest of the race.

The pink jersey

Armando Cougnet, director of the Giro, decided in 1931 to grant a symbol that would make the leader of the race recognizable with the naked eye. This is how the pink jersey was born, taking the color from the pages of La Gazzetta dello Sport. The first pink jersey was Learco Guerra, winner of the first stage of the 1931 Giro between Milan and Mantova. the first incursion through the Alps began to dispute the Grand Prix of the mountain.

The Coppi-Bartali duels

Gino Bartali

At the dawn of World War II, Gino Bartali was already famous, having won in 1936 and 1937. In 1940 foreign participation was sparse, as World War II had already begun. The Legnano team of which Bartali was a member hired the 20-year-old Fausto Coppi as a domestique. The whole team had to work for Bartali, who had as a rival Giovanni Valetti from the Bianchi team, winner of the 1938 and 1939 editions. In the early stages, Bartali lost almost 15 minutes, while Coppi was second in two stages and was in the first places of the classification. The Legnano coach decided that Coppi should not be more gregarious and go for the race, having to convince Bartali to be the gregarious as well as the "teacher" of the young Coppi In the 11th stage that ended in Modena, Coppi won alone, putting on the pink jersey that he kept until the end in Milan. At 20 years, 8 months and 25 days old, Fausto Coppi became the youngest cyclist to win the Giro, a record that still stands. The next day, Italy declared war on France and the Giro suffered the second interruption in its history.

Fausto Coppi

After the hiatus of the war, the Giro returned in 1946. Bartali continued with the Legnano team and Coppi rode for Bianchi. Political and religious differences between the two divided Italy. The Christian Democracy and the Catholics were in favor of Bartali and the left and the laity in favor of Coppi, although both had a cordial relationship despite the rivalry. The 1946 duel was won by Bartali, achieving his third Giro. Coppi got his revenge in 1947 and in the following years he won 3 more times, equaling Binda's record. The Coppi-Bartali bipolarization was broken by Fiorenzo Magni who won 3 Giros in that period and by the Swiss Hugo Koblet, the first foreigner to climb to the top of the podium in 1950.

Italian domino challenged

After Koblet's triumph in 1950, foreigners managed to dominate several editions. The Luxembourger Charly Gaul, thanks to his climbing conditions, did it twice (1956 and 1959) and the Frenchman Jacques Anquetil (quintuple winner of the Tour de France) also twice (1960 and 1964). Among Anquetil's victories, the Italian Franco Balmanion achieved the Giros of 1962 and 63 although he did not win any stage.

In 1966, Gianni Motta won the general classification and the points classification, which began to be disputed for the first time. Starting in 1967, the identification jersey was awarded to the leader of that classification, the first two years being the maglia rossa and then the maglia ciclamino. The latter was used until the 2009 edition, returning to red in 2010.

The Merckx Era

Eddy Merckx in 1973.

At the end of the 1960s, Felice Gimondi was the great Italian cyclist of the day. He had won the Tour de France in 1965, the Giro in 1967 and the Vuelta a España in 1968. In 1967 a young Eddy Merckx was ninth in the Giro and won 2 stages, a prelude to his golden age. Of the seven editions run between 1968 and 1974, Merckx won 5, reaching the record of Binda and Coppi. He only saw his hegemony cut off by Gimondi in 1969 when he was disqualified for a positive doping control and by the Swede Gösta Pettersson in 1971.

In 1976 Gimondi won his third Giro. With that victory, he climbed the podium for the ninth time, being the cyclist with the most podiums in history. In 1974, the green jersey began to be awarded to the leader of the mountain classification. This badge was used until 2012, when it was changed to blue.

Saronni-Moser Duel

In the late 1970s and early 1980s, duels between Giuseppe Saronni and Francesco Moser reignited the Giro. Saronni achieved victories in 1979 and 1983, while Moser in 1984. Both achieved the points classification four times and remain in the lead as the most winners in this classification. In the midst of this duel Bernard Hinault took three editions: those of 1980, 1982 and 1985.

The 1988 edition was marked by two events: the triumph of the American Andrew Hampsten, the first non-European to win the race and the ascent to the Passo di Gavia and subsequent descent to Bormio in very adverse weather conditions. Rain and a snowstorm forced several cyclists to descend by car since it was impossible for them to do so by bicycle.

From Indurain to Pantani

In the early 1990s Gianni Bugno, Claudio Chiappucci and Franco Chioccioli were the great entertainers of the Italian round. Bugno won in 1990 and Chioccioli in 1991, but they were all outshone by the Spaniard Miguel Induráin. The Navarrese dominated the Italian race in 1992 and 1993 and when his third Giro was expected in 1994, the Russian Yevgueni Berzin gave the surprise by winning the pink jersey in the fourth stage and keeping it until the end, winning both stages against the clock against Induráin. After the success of the Swiss Tony Rominger in 1995 and the Russian Pavel Tonkov in 1996, a cycle of eleven editions began where the Italians dominated the Giro. Marco Pantani won in 1998 and started favorite in 1999, wearing the pink jersey until with two stages to go he was excluded from the race for having high hematocrit levels. Ivan Gotti won that year, it being his second win after his win in 1997.

In that same decade and at the beginning of the 2000s, the sprinter Mario Cipollini shone in the mass arrivals. In the period 1989-2003 he achieved 42 stage wins and broke the Binda record that had been in force since the 1930s.

Recent Years

In the period 1997-2007, two victories for Ivan Gotti, two for Gilberto Simoni, two for Paolo Savoldelli, plus the triumphs of Garzelli, Cunego, Basso and Di Luca, marked the Italian hegemony that had not existed since the The first foreigner won in 1950. The Italian cycle was cut by Alberto Contador in 2008.

In 2003, in the sporting decline of Cipollini, another Italian sprinter made an appearance, Alessandro Petacchi. Petacchi won six stages in 2003 and nine in 2004.

Denis Menchov in 2009 was the third Russian to win the race and in 2010 Basso won his second Giro. Contador won his second Giro on the route in 2011, but lost it at the TAS offices after the penalty for the Contador case and the final victory went to Michele Scarponi.

The 2012 edition went to Ryder Hesjedal, the first Canadian and second cyclist from the other side of the Atlantic to win the Giro. In 2013 the Italian Vincenzo Nibali wins his first lap after two previous podiums (2nd and 3rd respectively). In 2014 the Colombian Nairo Quintana, in his first participation in the race, was proclaimed the first Latin American to be the Giro champion, also being the best young man in the race. That same year, Rigoberto Urán, also Colombian, was runner-up in the Giro for the second time in a row. In 2015, the experienced Alberto Contador won his second lap against a young promise of Italian cycling Fabio Aru.

Vincenzo Nibali took his second victory in the Italian round of 2016, in a very tough edition in the high mountains.

Leader's Jerseys

Current Maglias

The leader of the general classification is distinguished by wearing a pink jersey (jersey of the color of the Milanese sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport that organizes the race), the leader of the mountains classification, since 2012 he has been wearing the blue jersey, (previously it was the green jersey).

The leader of the classification by points or of the regularity wore the maglia rosso passione or rossa (currently it is ciclamino) and the leader of the classification those under 25 wear the white jersey.

In the Giro 100, the red maglia is not used, it was replaced by the original maglia ciclamino.

Other classifications

The Giro is also characterized by having a multitude of secondary classifications, most of them without distinctive mesh due to the UCI limitation that there can only be up to 4 classification jerseys. Among these are those of the Intergiro, renowned for Expo Milano 2015 (which traditionally has had a blue jersey that identified it) and the team competition. Others have been, for example, Super Team Trophy, Traguardo Volante (flying goals), Fuga Cervelo Trophy (more kilometers in flight), Fair Play, Maglia Nera (last in the classification with the number in black), Azzurri d'Italia, Most Combative (combativity).

Port listings

• See also: Classification of the mountain of the Giro de Italia

The Stelvio, one of the hardest ports in the Giro and Cima Coppi 6 times.

Unlike in the rest of the Grand Tours and even many stage laps, in the Giro there has not been the usual cataloging of the climbs (from highest to lowest difficulty: Special, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th) but by colors (blue -highest port-; green -final port of the stage-; and the rest from greater to lesser difficulty: red, yellow and grey) so that sometimes there has been a certain confusion regarding the real difficulty of ports. For this reason, as of 2011, cataloging by numbers was introduced, although without a Special category, with which most ports are numbered one category below what they would be in other races that use this type of cataloging.

In each edition, the highest mountain climb that cyclists have to face is called Cima Coppi and awards more points than the 1st category climbs.

General Managers

From its beginnings to the present, the Giro d'Italia has had six general directors:

• 1909-1948: Armando Cougnet
• 1949-1992: Vincenzo Torriani
• 1993-2003: Carmine Castellano
• 2004-2011: Angelo Zomegnan
• 2011-2013: Michele Acquarone
• 2014-: Mauro Vegni
