When compared to the previous year's race, the race was 265 km 0 on shorter, contained one more rest day, and the same number of individual time trials and split-stages. The race covered 120 km 0 on in time trail stages. In addition, this race contained one more stage. The race started on the island of Sardinia for the first time in race history and stayed on the island for three days of racing. Capodacqua of La Repubblica believed that the route favored a rider that could defend well and put in a good time during the uphill time trial. La Stampa writer Gianni Ranieri felt the two non-uphill time trials would favor Gianni Bugno, while the up-hill time trial could be a place where Claudio Chiappucci could gain time on the field. Pedro Delgado believed the race to be tougher than the Tour de France that same year. The Cima Coppi – the highest point in altitude the race reached – was scheduled to be the Stelvio Pass, but the pass was scrapped from the race and the Passo Pordoi – the next highest mountain – became the new Cima Coppi. The queen stage was thought to be twelfth leg from Savona to Pian del Re as the final climb was 18.5 km 0 on at an average gradient of 7.5%. The Pordoi Pass in the seventeenth stage was the highest climb and was crossed twice. A writer for l'Impartial wrote that shorter stages might contain more attacks and general classification impact, specifically the writer stated that the fifteenth stage would be an important stage as it climbed the Mortirolo Pass from the harder side, from Valteline. + Stage characteristics and winnersStageDateCourseDistanceTypeWinner126 MayOlbia to Olbia 193 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Philippe Casado FRA2a27 MayOlbia to Sassari 127 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Gianni Bugno ITA2bSassari 7 km 0 on22px|link=|alt=Individual time trial Gianluca Pierobon ITA328 MaySassari to Cagliari 231 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Mario Cipollini ITA29 May Rest day430 MaySorrento to Sorrento 170 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Éric Boyer FRA531 MaySorrento to Scanno 246 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Marino Lejarreta ESP61 JuneScanno to Rieti 205 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Vladimir Poulnikov URS72 JuneRieti to Città di Castello 174 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Mario Cipollini ITA83 JuneCittà di Castello to Prato 169 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Davide Cassani ITA94 JunePrato to Felino 229 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Massimo Ghirotto ITA105 JuneCollecchio to Langhirano 43 km 0 on22px|link=|alt=Individual time trial Gianni Bugno ITA116 JuneSala Baganza to Savona 223 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Maximilian Sciandri ITA127 JuneSavona to Pian del Re 182 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Massimiliano Lelli ITA138 JuneSavigliano to Sestriere 192 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Eduardo Chozas ESP149 JuneTurin to Morbegno 239 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Franco Ballerini ITA1510 JuneMorbegno to Aprica 132 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Franco Chioccioli ITA1611 JuneTirano to Selva di Val Gardena 220 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Massimiliano Lelli ITA1712 JuneSelva di Val Gardena to Passo Pordoi 169 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Franco Chioccioli ITA1813 JunePozza di Fassa to Castelfranco Veneto 165 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Silvio Martinello ITA1914 JuneCastelfranco Veneto to Brescia 185 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Gianni Bugno ITA2015 JuneBroni to Casteggio 66 km 0 on22px|link=|alt=Individual time trial Franco Chioccioli ITA2116 JunePavia to Milan 153 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Mario Cipollini ITA Total 3715 km 0 on Race overview thumb|alt=A man holding flowers while wearing a pink jersey.|GAN 1991's Philippe Casado shown after being presented with the race leader's maglia rosa (en pink jersey) from winning the race's opening leg During the first stage, Alberto Leanizbarrutia attacked on his own and led the race for 150 km 0 on before being caught by the chasing peloton within the final ten kilometers.http://streaming.ajgirona.org/pandora/cgi-bin/Pandora.exe?xslt=show_pdf;publication=Avui;sort_publication=avui;day=27;month=05;year=1991;page=055;id=0002474714;filename=19910527;collection=pages;url_high=pages/Avui/1991/199105/19910527/19910527055.pdf;lang=en;pdf_parameters=search=%22giro%20d%27italia%22&view=FitH;encoding=utf-8 Leanizbarrutia no pot culminar una escapada del 150km al Giro ca 27 May 1991 11 Avui Hermes Comunicacions S.A. 27 May 2012 PDF Leanizbarrutia can not finish a trip of 150km Giro 4 July 2015 https://web.archive.org/web/20150704193643/http://streaming.ajgirona.org/pandora/cgi-bin/Pandora.exe?xslt=show_pdf%3Bpublication%3DAvui%3Bsort_publication%3Davui%3Bday%3D27%3Bmonth%3D05%3Byear%3D1991%3Bpage%3D055%3Bid%3D0002474714%3Bfilename%3D19910527%3Bcollection%3Dpages%3Burl_high%3Dpages%2FAvui%2F1991%2F199105%2F19910527%2F19910527055.pdf%3Blang%3Den%3Bpdf_parameters%3Dsearch%3D%22giro%20d%27italia%22&view=FitH%3Bencoding%3Dutf-8 dead It then came down to a bunch sprint finish that was so close that it required a photo to determine the winner, Philippe Casado.http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1991/05/27/MD19910527-054.pdf Maratoniano Leanitzbarrutia es 27 May 1991 54 El Mundo Deportivo 27 May 2012 PDF Marathon Leanitzbarrutia https://web.archive.org/web/20150506014951/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1991/05/27/MD19910527-054.pdf 6 May 2015 live The next day of racing consisted of a mass-start stage in the morning and an individual time trial in the afternoon.http://elpais.com/diario/1991/05/28/deportes/675381602_850215.html Lejarreta, segundo, en la primera contrarreloj El País Paolo Viberti Lejarreta, second, in the first trial es 28 May 1991 27 May 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20150506193031/http://elpais.com/diario/1991/05/28/deportes/675381602_850215.html 6 May 2015 live Reigning winner Gianni Bugno won the trans-alpine morning stage ahead of other main contenders.

For the points classification, which awarded a purple (or cyclamen) jersey to its leader, cyclists were given points for finishing a stage in the top 15; additional points could also be won in intermediate sprints. The green jersey was awarded to the mountains classification leader. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. Each climb was ranked as either first, second or third category, with more points available for higher category climbs. The Cima Coppi, the race's highest point of elevation, awarded more points than the other first category climbs. The Cima Coppi for this Giro was the Passo Pordoi. It was crossed twice by the riders, for the first climbing of the mountain, Italian Franco Vona was the first over the climb, while Franco Chioccioli was first over the second passing. The white jersey was worn by the leader of young rider classification, a ranking decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders born after 1 January 1967 were eligible for it. The intergiro classification was marked by a blue jersey. The calculation for the intergiro is similar to that of the general classification, in each stage there is a midway point that the riders pass through a point and where their time is stopped. As the race goes on, their times compiled and the person with the lowest time is the leader of the intergiro classification and wears the blue jersey. Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the stage finish times of the best three cyclists per team were added; the leading team was the one with the lowest total time. The rows in the following table correspond to the jerseys awarded after that stage was run. +Classification leadership by stage Stage WinnerGeneral classification25px|link=|alt=Points
