The Giro abandoned the idea of having national teams mixed with Italian teams, but instead imposed a rule that each foreign team should include at least four Italian riders. The foreign teams were not willing to do this, and considered skipping the Giro, at which point the rule was removed, and all teams were free to select riders however they wanted.van den Akker 2023 29

Classification leadership
One different jersey was worn during the 1958 Giro d'Italia. The leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider – wore a pink jersey. This classification is the most important of the race, and its winner is considered as the winner of the Giro.Laura Weislo http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/giro08/?id=/features/2008/giro_classifications08 Giro d'Italia classifications demystified 13 May 2008 Cycling News 13 July 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130508234448/http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/giro08/?id=/features/2008/giro_classifications08 8 May 2013 live There were no time bonuses in 1958.van den Akker 2023 68
