Second and third respectively were Dutchman Erik Breukink and Swiss rider, Urs Zimmermann. It was the third time – and the second year in succession – in the history of the Giro, that the podium was occupied solely by non-Italian riders. Breukink had been part of the non-Italian podium in 1987, behind Ireland's Stephen Roche and Great Britain's Robert Millar.

Hampsten first gained the race lead after the famed fourteenth stage, which crossed the Gavia Pass towards Bormio, and where the riders battled against a snowstorm, strong winds, and muddy roads. Beforehand, the overall classification had been headed for several days by Massimo Podenzana. He had participated in a breakaway during stage 4a, which won him sufficient time to hold the race leader's maglia rosa (Template:Lang-en) for more than a week. Franco Chioccioli also wore the pink jersey for a two-stage period, before Hampsten took the lead. After stage 14, Hampsten began to build up a solid two-minute barrier against the second-placed rider, Breukink. This gap was sufficient to win Hampsten the race, despite losing around twenty seconds in the final two stages.

Hampsten became the first American, and non-European, to win the Giro. He also won the secondary mountains and combination classifications, as well as the special sprints classification In the other classifications, Fanini-Seven Up rider Stefano Tomasini of Italy placed ninth overall to finish as the best neo-professional in the general classification; Johan van der Velde of the GIS-Ecoflam-Jolly team was the winner of the points classification, and You have called {{Contentious topics}}.

Teams

Twenty teams were invited to participate in the 1988 edition of the Giro d'Italia,^[1]^[2] twelve of which were based outside of Italy.^[3] Each team sent a squad of nine riders, which meant that the race would start with a peloton of 180 cyclists.^[1]^[2]^[4] The presentation of the teams took place on 22 May, in the courtyard of the Ducal Palace in Urbino.^[4] From the 180 riders that began this edition, 125 made it to the finish in Vittorio Veneto.^[3]

During the presentation of the teams, the riders were asked to choose their top picks for the overall victory.^[4] Roberto Visentini garnered the most votes from his fellow riders, but Delgado, Hampsten, and LeMond also received many votes.^[4] Many media outlets felt that the overall victory would likely go to a non-Italian rider.^[2]^[4]^[6]

Route and stages

The route for the 1988 edition of the Giro d'Italia was revealed to the public on television by head organizer Vincenzo Torriani, on 5 March 1988.^[2]^[8] It contained four time trial events, three of which were individual and one a team event.^[8] It was hoped that the number of time trials, including one on the last day, would keep the race hotly contested to the end.^[2]^[3] There were fourteen stages containing categorized climbs,^[3] of which four had summit finishes: stage 6, to Campitello Matese;^[9] stage 12, to Selvino;^[1]^[10] stage 13, to Chiesa in Valmalenco;^[11] and stage 15, to Merano 2000.^[12]^[13] Another stage had a summit arrival, the demanding stage 18 climbing time trial to Valico del Vetriolo.^[13]^[14]^[15] The organizers chose to not include any rest days.^[2]^[3]

The eleventh stage was cancelled due to protests near the finish line.^[16] The fifteenth stage was originally intended to be 132 km (82.0 mi) and scheduled to start in Bormio.^[12] However, due to very poor weather conditions, the start was moved to Spondigna and the stage was shortened to 83 km (51.6 mi).^[14]^[17] The route originally had the riders crossing the Stelvio Pass, but it was skipped due to snowdrifts that had developed on the pass.^[17] Excluding the finish on the Merano 2000, the stage was relatively flat after the adjustments.^[17]

In previous years, the organizers had made the race easier for the Italian favorites by disregarding some of the harder climbs.^[18] With the absence of Italian Francesco Moser from this edition, the race organizers included many of the storied climbs of old, such as the Gavia Pass.^[18] Moser himself stated that the route contained many difficult climbs and was not helping Italian cycling prosper.^[13] When asked about the route for the 1988 edition, You have called {{Contentious topics}}.

Race overview

The Giro began with a short 9 km (5.6 mi) time trial in the city of Urbino, which was won by Bernard with a three-second margin over Rominger.^[3] Bernard held the maglia rosa for three days, before losing it to Massimo Podenzana.^[22] Bontempi won the second stage and moved to third overall, while Bernard gained a five-second buffer over the second-placed rider, Rominger.^[23] In stage 4a Podenzana soloed to victory in Rodi Garganico, five minutes ahead of the second place finisher.^[5] This victory and the respective time bonus allowed Podenzana to gain the maglia rosa, which he held until stage 12.^[3] Stage 4b was a team time trial that stretched 40 km (24.9 mi); it was won by Del Tongo, eleven seconds ahead of You have called {{Contentious topics}}.

The eleventh stage was run without a problem until the final mile, where environmentalist protestors occupied the finish line and forced the annulment of the stage.^[16] The protestors were upset with a nearby factory, owned by chemical manufacturer Montedison, which had been polluting the Bormida river.^[16]^[24] The next stage saw the appearance of the major mountains and the maglia rosa bearer changing from Pondenzana to Chioccioli.^[25] The ensuing stages saw the general classification shift more frequently due to the intensity of the mountains and the fatigue setting in.^[25]

The fourteenth stage was memorable for its extreme weather, most notably on the final climb of the Gavia Pass.^[26]^[27] Overnight, a large amount of snow had accumulated on the Gavia, but the roads were cleared in time for the riders.^[28] Despite the cold and adverse weather forecast, the patron, Vincenzo Torriani, decided to go through with the stage.^[26]^[28] As snow fell on the riders climbing the muddy roads of the Gavia,^[26]^[27] Hampsten attacked at the base of the mountain but was chased by Breukink, who eventually caught and passed the American with seven kilometers to go.^[18]^[27] Although Breukink won the stage, Hampsten made the bigger story by becoming the first American to don the maglia rosa in the history of the Giro d'Italia.^[27]^[29]

The start of the fifteenth stage was moved ahead from Bormio to Spondigna because of snow covering the Stevio Pass; the summit finish in Merano was maintained.^[30] As soon as the climb started, Bernard, Zimmermann and Chioccioli jumped off the front.^[17] Bernard eventually shook the other two riders and won the stage, but with minimal time gain.^[17]^[31] The sixteenth stage was marked by rain – which turned into snow as the peloton rose higher – and by two protests while climbing the Rombo Pass.^[17] Near the summit of the last climb, Hampsten and a few others formed an escape group that was eventually caught in the final kilometers.^[17] The group rolled into Innsbruck, while Franco Vona made a last minute attack that won him the stage.^[17]

An uphill road with writing on it. — The Gavia Pass was the last climb of the famous fourteenth stage before the participants rode into Bormio for the finish.

The eighteenth stage would prove critical in deciding the overall winner of the Giro, as it was an 18 km (11.2 mi) individual time trial that lead up a mountain.^[14] The route started off with 5 km (3.1 mi) of flat roads, before the climb to the finish at the Vetriolo Terme ski station.^[32] Going into the stage, Hampsten led the race by 42 seconds over Breukink,^[33] a margin that was increased by a further 32 seconds after the time trial.^[32]^[33]^[34] The nineteenth stage featured three categorized climbs. Zimmermann attacked on the first climb, the Duran Pass, and remained out in front for the whole stage. However, he was later caught by Stefano Giuliani, who bridged the gap to Zimmermann from a chase group, on the descent of the Duran.^[32] Although Giuliani won the stage, Zimmermann moved into second place overall after gaining over three minutes on the general classification contenders.^[32]

The twentieth stage came down to a sprint finish won by Paolo Rosola, who was later disqualified as his teammate, Roberto Pagnin, was found to have pushed him during the sprint.^[20]^[21] As a result, the second place finisher, Alessio Di Basco, was awarded the stage victory.^[20]^[21] The penultimate stage was completely flat and culminated in a bunch sprint, won by Urs Freuler. Hours later, the final stage – a hilly 43 km (26.7 mi) individual time trial – took place.^[20] The weather conditions were fine for the majority of the riders, but as the general classification contenders were on the course, lightning began to strike and rain began to pour.^[14] There was a tricky descent about 18 km into the stage, which became more dangerous with the rain, ultimately resulting in the crashes of Giupponi and Zimmerman.^[35] The time lost by Zimmermann cost him his second place overall.^[35] Lech Piasecki, who rode the course when dry, won the stage by a wide margin.^[35] Hampsten lost twenty seconds to Breukink, but it did not prevent him from becoming the first American to win the Giro d'Italia.^[14]^[36]^[37]^[38] The final podium was rounded out by non-Italian riders for the second year in a row and the third time in the history of the race.^[39]^[40]

Stage success was limited to eleven of the competing teams, seven of which achieved multiple victories. Four individual riders won multiple stages: Bernard in stages 1, 8, and 15;^[22]^[31]^[41] Bontempi in stages 2 and 5,^[23]^[42] Hampsten in stages 12 and 18,^[25]^[34] and Di Basco in stages 9 and 20.^[20]^[21]^[43] You have called {{Contentious topics}}.

Doping

The organization performed anti-doping controls throughout the race.^[55] Riders would be selected for testing after a stage and the results would be returned roughly between thirty minutes and one hour.^[55] No rider tested positive in this edition of the Giro, but had this happened, the following penalties would be applied: the rider would be demoted to last place of the stage, given a ten-minute penalty in the general classification, a one-month suspension, and a fine of a thousand francs.^[55]

Classification leadership

Five different jerseys were awarded in the 1988 Giro d'Italia. For the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider, and allowing time bonuses for the first three finishers on mass-start stages – the leader received a pink jersey. This classification was considered the most important of the race, and its winner was considered the winner of the Giro.^[56]

There was also a points classification, which awarded a purple (or cyclamen) jersey. In this classification, cyclists got points for finishing a stage in the top 15. In addition, extra points could be won in intermediate sprints.^[56] The green jersey was awarded to the mountains classification leader.^[56] In this classification, points were won by reaching the top of a climb ahead of other cyclists. Each climb was categorized as either first, second, or third category, with more points available for the higher-categorized climbs.^[56] The Cima Coppi, the race's highest point of elevation, awarded even more points than the other first category climbs.^[56] The Cima Coppi for this Giro was supposed to be the Stelvio Pass,^[2]^[19] however the day the Giro was supposed to climb it, a heavy snow cover forced the organization to skip the mountain pass from the stage route.^[17] The white jersey was worn by the leader of young rider classification. This ranking was decided the same way as the general classification, but only neo-professional cyclists – those in their first three years of professional racing – were eligible.^[46]^[56]

The combination classification, represented by a blue jersey, was calculated by summing up the points obtained by each rider in the other classifications; the leader was the rider with the lowest total of points.^[57] Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the stage finish times of the best three cyclists per team were added; the leading team was the one with the lowest total time.^[56]

In this case, this template must be used for the notification. {{alert}} ({{Contentious topics/alert}}) is used, on a user's talk page, to "alert", or draw a user's attention, to the fact that a specific topic is a contentious topic. It may only be used if the user has previously received any contentious topic alert, and it can be replaced by a custom message that conveys the contentious topic designation. {{alert/DS}} ({{Contentious topics/alert/DS}}) is used to inform editors that the old "discretionary sanctions" system has been replaced by the contentious topics system, and that a specific topic is a contentious topic. {{Contentious topics/aware}} is used to register oneself as already aware that a specific topic is a contentious topic. Editnotices {{Contentious topics/editnotice}} is used to inform editors that a page is covered by the contentious topics system using an editnotice. Use the one below if the page has restrictions placed on the page. {{Contentious topics/page restriction editnotice}} is used to inform editors that the page they are editing is subject to contentious topics restrictions using an editnotice. Use the above if there are no restrictions placed on the page. Talk page notices {{Contentious topics/talk notice}} is used to provide additional communication, using a talk page messagebox (tmbox), to editors that they are editing a page that is covered by the contentious topics system. The template standardises the format and wording of such notices. Use the below if there are restrictions placed on the page. {{Contentious topics/page restriction talk notice}} is used to inform editors that page restrictions are active on the page using a talk page messagebox (tmbox). Use the above if there are no restrictions placed on the page. If a user who has been alerted goes on to disruptively edit the affected topic area, they can be reported to the arbitration enforcement (AE) noticeboard, where an administrator will investigate their conduct and issue a sanction if appropriate. {{AE sanction}} is used by administrators to inform a user that they have been sanctioned.
