The race started in Urbino, on 23 May, with a 9 km 1 on individual time trial and concluded in Vittorio Veneto, on 12 June, with a 43 km 1 on individual time trial. A total of 180 riders from 20 teams entered the 21-stage race, which was won by American Andrew Hampsten of the MOT 1988 team. The second and third places were taken by Dutchman Erik Breukink and Swiss Urs Zimmermann, respectively. It was the third time – and second successive year – in the history of the Giro that the podium was occupied solely by non-Italian riders. In the first half of the race, the overall classification had been headed for several days by Massimo Podenzana. He had participated in a breakaway during stage 4a, which won him sufficient time to hold the race leader's maglia rosa (en pink jersey) for more than a week. Franco Chioccioli then wore the pink jersey for two stages before Hampsten took the general classification lead after the fourteenth stage. The fourteenth stage of the 1988 Giro, conducted in adverse weather including a snowstorm, has been recognized as an iconic event in the history of the Giro. After this stage, Hampsten began to build up a solid two-minute barrier against the second-placed rider, Breukink. This gap was sufficient to win Hampsten the race, despite losing around twenty seconds in the final two stages. Hampsten became the first American, and non-European, to win the Giro. He also won the secondary mountains and combination classifications, as well as the special sprints classification. In the other classifications, Fanini–Seven Up rider Stefano Tomasini of Italy placed ninth overall to finish as the best neo-professional in the general classification, Johan van der Velde of the Gisgelati–Ecoflam team was the winner of the points classification, and CAR 1988 finished as the winners of the team classification.

Sala believed Jean-François Bernard came into the Giro in great shape and that the French rider could win the race if he could do well in the time trials and the mountains. In addition, Bernard Hinault told Sala that if Jean Francois could do well in this edition of the Giro, he could one day lead a team in the Tour de France. Former Giro champion Gianni Motta thought Hampsten would win because of the effort he was expected to make on the Gavia Pass stage.Hildenbrand 2008 80 Motta believed that Hampsten would excel there, while the Italian riders – the majority of the peloton – would not because they did not realize its difficulty and thought the Gavia was "just another climb".Hildenbrand 2008 80Phinney Murphy 2011 171 The 1986 Tour de France winner Greg LeMond entered the race with his PDM 1988 squad, after a break from cycling due to injuries sustained in a hunting accident. Due to this, Sala did not see him as a front-runner for the overall victory. Swiss rider Tony Rominger also partook in the race and was considered by McGann and Sala as a dark-horse candidate for the victory after experiencing success at the beginning of his season. Guido Bontempi was seen by Sala as a favorite to win a couple of stages. Before he injured his right knee earlier in the season during the Tour de Romandie, many newspapers also believed Moreno Argentin to be a favorite to take several stages.Curzio Maltese http://www.archiviolastampa.it/component/option,com_lastampa/task,search/mod,libera/action,viewer/Itemid,3/page,28/articleid,0959_02_1988_0126_0028_25013186/anews,true/ Visentini contro gli stranieri it 23 May 1988 28 Stampa Sera Editrice La Stampa 27 May 2012 Visentini against foreigners Stampa Sera (newspaper) Stampa Sera yes it Stampa Sera writer Curzio Maltese believed that Flavio Giupponi could take one of the stages containing many categorized climbs which award mountains classification points, if properly supported by his team Del Tongo–Colnago. During the presentation of the teams, the riders were asked to choose their top picks for the overall victory. Roberto Visentini garnered the most votes from his fellow riders, but Delgado, Hampsten and LeMond also received many votes. Many media outlets felt that the overall victory would likely go to a non-Italian rider due to the lack of Italian general classification competitors, but that Visentini had the best chance of winning out of competing Italians.

Excluding the finish on the Merano 2000, the stage was relatively flat after the adjustments. In previous years, the organizers had made the race easier for the Italian favorites by including fewer hard climbs. With the absence of Italian Francesco Moser from this edition, the race organizers included many famous and difficult climbs, such as the Gavia Pass.https://www.si.com/more-sports/2013/05/10/andy-hampsten-1988-giro-ditalia During a snowy stage of the '88 Giro, Andy Hampsten rode into history Austin Murphy 13 May 2013 Sports Illustrated Time Inc. 15 July 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20140112043438/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/more/news/20130510/andy-hampsten-1988-giro-ditalia/ 12 January 2014 live Moser himself stated that the route contained many difficult climbs and was not helping Italian cycling to prosper at a time when he believed it to be ailing. When asked about the route for the 1988 edition, MOT 1988 rider Bob Roll said "Those sons of bitches put every mountain they could find in the race that year."

Although no riders tested positive, Roberto Visentini, Flavio Giupponi and Urs Zimmermann – who placed second, third and fourth, respectively, in the eighteenth stage – showed up too late for their control tests and were given the penalties corresponding to riders testing positive; after complaints and threats to leave the race from their team leaders, the jury later reverted their decision, and no penalty was given.http://resources3.kb.nl/011000000/pdf/DDD_011001184.pdf Jury herroept tijdstraf voor Visentini c.s.

The time bonuses for the 1988 Giro were fifteen seconds for first, ten seconds for second, and five seconds for third place on the stage.http://streaming.ajgirona.org/pandora/cgi-bin/Pandora.exe?xslt=show_pdf;publication=Avui;sort_publication=avui;day=23;month=05;year=1988;page=034;id=0002870044;filename=19880523;collection=pages;url_high=pages/Avui/1988/198805/19880523/19880523034.pdf;lang=ca;pdf_parameters=search=%22giro%22&view=FitH;encoding=utf-8 Torna la muntanya a un Giro favorable a Delgado ca 23 May 1988 34 Avui Hermes Comunicacions S.A. 27 May 2012 PDF Back to the mountain Giro favor Delgado https://web.archive.org/web/20140629180101/http://streaming.ajgirona.org/pandora/cgi-bin/Pandora.exe?xslt=show_pdf%3Bpublication%3DAvui%3Bsort_publication%3Davui%3Bday%3D23%3Bmonth%3D05%3Byear%3D1988%3Bpage%3D034%3Bid%3D0002870044%3Bfilename%3D19880523%3Bcollection%3Dpages%3Burl_high%3Dpages%2FAvui%2F1988%2F198805%2F19880523%2F19880523034.pdf%3Blang%3Dca%3Bpdf_parameters%3Dsearch%3D%22giro%22&view=FitH%3Bencoding%3Dutf-8 2014-06-29 dead 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 Future Publishing Limited 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 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, carried more points than the other first category climbs. The Cima Coppi for this edition of the Giro was supposed to be the Stelvio Pass, however the day the peloton was supposed to climb it, heavy snow cover forced the organization to omit it from the stage. The white jersey was worn by the leader of young rider classification, a ranking decided the same way as the general classification, but considering only neo-professional cyclists (in their first three years of professional racing). The combination classification, represented by a blue jersey, was calculated by summing up the points obtained by each rider in the other classifications; the leader was the rider with the lowest total of points.Richard Pestes http://www.pezcyclingnews.com/page/latestnews?id=84271#.U3w5jSiZj9s Giro 1988: Andy's Epic Day 1 December 2007 PezCycling News Pez 27 May 2012
