Torino 8.6 km Timetrial

Aaaaahh, a Giro in May, nature is healing. We kick off what looks like a promising GT boasting a solid field of contenders and interesting storylines with a classic short timetrial.

Giro d'Italia 1971: Brindisi - Bari 175 km

Celebrating the 50th anniversary of Gösta Pettersson winning Sweden's only Grand Tour to date I will give a short update every stage how that Giro developed.

The 71 Giro started at the opposite end of the country in the boot-heel of Italy. It was a standard sprint stage won by Marino Basso, riding for Eddy Merckx's Molteni team (Merckx himself didn't ride the Giro this year). Less standard was the prologue that was held the day before. It was a timetrial relay with ten legs of a 6.2 km course. Salvarani won the relay which didn't count towards GC at all. But their fortunes where soon to turn as we shall see later.

Honorary Juventus Star of the Day: Filippo Ganna

Don't be fooled by his recent sucking, this is what matters.
