Sticky Buns Across America

1914 Giro Quick Facts:

3,162 km raced at an average speed of 23.37 km/hr.

81 starters and 8 classified finishers. Yes that's right, only 8 finishers

Since the Giro's origin in 1909, the General Classification had been calculated using points. The 1914 Giro GC was the first edition that used elapsed time to figure the standings and time has remained the basis of the Giro's standings ever since.

The 1914 Giro was without a doubt the hardest-ever Grand Tour. Only 8 riders were able to finish this staggeringly difficult race.

A planned 1915 edition was cancelled with Italy's entry into the war.

Les Woodland's book Sticky Buns Across America: Back roads biking from sea to shing sea is available as an audiobook here.
