1955 Giro Quick Facts:

3,873 km raced at an average speed of 35.55 km/hr

98 starters and 86 classified finishers

Fiorenzo Magni's win in the 1955 Giro was the result of skilled riding, brute strength and a brilliant set-piece in the penultimate stage.

Until stage 20 Magni had stayed near the top of the GC standings, which Gastone Nencini led.

Seeing the stage 20 route went over a patch of bad road, he fitted his bike with heavy tires. Waiting for the peloton's inevitable flat tires, Magni attacked, taking Fausto Coppi with him. The two rode alone for 160 kilometers and left Nencini minutes behind. It was Magni's third Giro victory.
