1938 Giro Quick Facts:

3,754 km raced at an average speed of 33.27 km/hr

94 starters and 50 classified finishers.

1936 & 1937 Giro winner Gino Bartali was ordered by the Italian government to miss the Giro to properly prepare for the Tour de France, which he won.

The only rider who could have challenged Bartali, Giovanni Valetti, took the lead in the hilly ninth stage.

From there he continually increased his lead until he was nearly nine minutes ahead of second-place Ezio Cecchi when the race ended.

1938 Giro stage results with running GC:

There were several days with split stages. Some accounts call them a & b, thus giving 1938 18 stages.
