Girardengo Untouchable

Europe was still feeling the effects of WW1 as the Giro d'Italia returned to racing. Sixty-three brave riders started the race in Milan but only fifteen finished the race. Italian superstar Constante Girardengo recorded 7 stage wins (7 of 10 stages) and held the race lead from start to finish.

Marcel Buysse (Bel) became the first foreign rider to finish on the podium (in 3rd place).
