Participants
Of the 75 riders that began the Giro d'Italia on 24 May, fifteen of them made it to the finish in Milan on 11 June.[1] Riders were allowed to ride on their own or as a member of a team. There were four teams that competed in the race: Bianchi-Salga, Ganna-Dunlop, Legnano-Pirelli, and Maino-Bergougnan.[1]
The peloton was almost completely composed of Italians.[1] The field featured one former Giro d'Italia champion in the 1919 Giro d'Italia winner Costante Girardengo.[1] Other notable Italian riders that started the race included Giovanni Brunero, Bartolomeo Aymo, and Gaetano Belloni.[1]
