1963 Giro Quick Facts:

4,063 kilometers raced at an average speed of 34.77 km/hr

120 starters and 86 classified finishers

1962 Giro winner Franco Balmamion took over the lead after the stage 12 ascent to Leukerbad, but had to give it up following the stage 16 time trial.

The race remained very close, with 24 seconds separating the top five.

Balmamion's brilliantly tactical ride in the mountainous nineteenth stage gave him the final victory.

Balmamion became the first rider to successfully defend his Giro Championship since Fausto Coppi in 1953.

Vito Taccone won five difficult stages.
