La Gazzetta dello Sport felt four riders – Francesco Moser (Gis Gelati–Tuc Lu), Laurent Fignon (REN 1984), Giuseppe Saronni (DEL 1984), and Roberto Visentini (CAR 1984) – had the best chances to win, but "there is no man who knows how to dominate."

Ángel Ruocco of El País felt that the race would be between 1983 Tour de France champion Fignon and Saronni, the winner of the Giro the previous year. He added that Silvano Contini, Mario Beccia, and Fignon as other challengers.

Moser. On several occasions, Moser was seen drafting behind team cars and being pushed up mountains which is not allowed in the race rules. Moser was not penalized the times he committed the violations, but several other riders in the race were punished by officials when they committed the same infractions. Renault manager Cyrille Guimard especially upset with Moser's lack of punishment because his rider, Fignon, was awarded a twenty-second penalty for receiving food outside of the feed zone.O'Brien 2017 130 Another instance appeared when the race officials cancelled the crossing of the Stelvio Pass during the eighteenth stage. Snow had fallen on the Stelvio and was thought to be able to be cleared by the day of the stage as race director Vincenzo Torriani had photos showing that it could be done. The French magazine Vélo published photos of the pass being clear of snow and open to the public.O'Brien 2017 129 However, the day before the stage, the snow had yet to be cleared. There's speculation that a government official from Trent – Moser's hometown – would not allow the Giro to cross the Stelvio. The race was re-routed to go over the Tonale Pass and Palade Pass.O'Brien 2017 130 The changes in the stage resulted in another collective finish of the general classification contenders, thus keeping the time gaps the same and playing into the hand of Moser.http://elpais.com/diario/1984/06/06/deportes/455320805_850215.html EFE Fignon critica el trazado "indigno" del Giro El País Fignon criticizes the "unworthy" route of the Giro es 7 June 1984 27 May 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20160511150731/http://elpais.com/diario/1984/06/06/deportes/455320805_850215.html 11 May 2016 live 1986 race winner Roberto Visentini quit the race because he felt the it was being fixed..October 2021 the following source has Visentini finishing 18th during this race.
