Alfredo Binda, a three-time winner and reigning champion, came in as the favorite to win the race. Outside of Binda, the field featured only one other Giro d'Italia winner in Gaetano Belloni who won the 1920 running. Other notable Italian riders that started the race included Giuseppe Pancera, Antonio Negrini, and Domenico Piemontesi. Race summary The first stage was won by Belloni, who was 36 years old. He was the oldest stage winner in the Giro at that point, and would hold this record until Alessandro Bertolini won a stage in the 2008 Giro d'Italia.van den Akker 2023 35 Belloni automatically also became the first leader of the general classification, where he also took the record for oldest leader; this record would be broken in 1971 by Aldo Moser.van den Akker 2023 73 From the second to the ninth stage, Binda set a record of eight consecutive stage victories.https://www.cyclingrevealed.com/timeline/Race%20Snippets/GdI/GdI_1929.htm Cycling Revealed 17th Giro d'Italia 1929, Binda Time 4! Barry Boyce Belloni lost six minutes in stage 4, handing over the lead to Binda, and lost an hour in stage 5. On the eighth stage, Belloni was behind the peloton after a crash, and while he was chasing them back, a young boy jumped in front of his bike. Belloni collided with the young boy, killing the young boy. Belloni abandoned the race. After the ninth stage, Binda's lead in the general classification was not large, because most stages had finished in a large sprint. In the thirteenth stage, Binda won the sprint. The jury however decided that the sprint of the first four riders had been irregular, giving the victory to the fifth rider. After the last stage had finished in the Arena stadium in Milan, the spectators turned against Binda, because fans were tired of his hegemony. For the next Giro, Binda would be paid by the Giro organisation to stay away, with the goal of making the Giro more exciting for the fans.
