1954 Giro Quick Facts:

4,337 km raced at an average speed of 33.563 km/hr. Longest edition in Giro history.

105 starters and 67 classified finishers.

A sullen peloton unhappy with racing conditions in the 1954 Giro refused to race with conviction. Winner Carlo Clerici escaped from a disinterested pack in stage six and gained enough time to become the race leader.

He was never seriously challenged the rest of the race and became the 1954 Giro champion.

Because the pack took nine and a half hours to ride the 222 kilometers of the 21st stage with its crossing of the Bernina Pass, the 1954 Giro is called the race of the "Bernina Strike".
