1956 Giro Quick Facts:

3515 kilometers raced at an average speed of 34.68 km/hr

105 starters and 43 classified finishers

Pasquale Fornara was leading the race until the legendary day in the Dolomites that ended at the top of Monte Bondone.

The cold overpowered most of the peloton, leaving only 43 riders in the race.

Charly Gaul left the rest of the survivors behind and took the lead at the top of the mountain.

Three-time giro winner Fiorenzo Magni finished second, with a broken collarbone and humorus, an extraordinary accomplishment
