1970 Giro Quick Facts:

3,292 km raced at an average speed of 36.518 km/hr

130 starters and 97 classified finishers

After his 1969 exclusion, Merckx returned reluctantly to the Giro, only to satisfy his Italian sponsor. There he rode with a quiet, calculating fury.

After taking the maglia rosa in stage seven, his leadership was never seriously challenged.

His ride in the stage nine time trial astounded sportswriters and competitors.

He went to to win the 1970 Tour de France, joining Fausto Coppi and Jacques Anquetil as the only riders to that point who had won the Giro and the Tour in the same year.
