Brunero's Repeat Victory after an Early Problem

Defending champion Giovanni Brunero finished the 326 km stage 1 in 12h34'17”, well ahead of the Gaetano Belloni led chase group. Brunero's stage finish was later relegated and he was assessed a "25 minute time penalty" for rules infractions.

SPECIAL NOTE: Because of Brunero’s rules infractions Costante Girardengo and Gaetono Belloni demanded his disqualification from the race. When Giro officials only assessed a “25 minute time penalty” and both teams withdrew from the race.

Undaunted Brunero slowly chipped away at the lead through the middle stages. He used several long breakaways and a four stage rampage into Milan for the Giro d'Italia victory. Bartolomeo Aimo finished second 12'29” behind.
