Bugno Start to Finish
Italian Gianni Bugno ushered in a new era in Italian cycling by winning the 1990 Giro d’Italia in grand fashion.
Bugno won the prologue time trial and held the overall lead from the first to the last stage. Gianni Bugno’s grand accomplishment matched the exploits of three Campionissimos:
Constante Girardengo (1919),
Alfredo Binda (1927), and
Eddy Merckx (1973).
SPECIAL NOTE: Greg LeMond, reigning World Road Champion, raced to the Giro as training for the Tour de France. Notably LeMond finished in 105th place in the Giro and went on to win the Tour de France.
