The seventh stage was the deciding stage: Belloni won much time on his competitors. In the last stage, there were only ten riders left. They stayed together for most of the stage. Near the end, Schierano was left behind, and the nine other riders rode to the finish together, in the hippodrome Trotter in Via Padova, Turin. When they reached the hippodrome, they were sent to the wrong entrance. Schierano, coming slightly later, used the correct entrance, and he reached the finish first. Initially, the jury said that Schierano won the stage, and that all other riders were ex aequo in second place, but later the jury decided to nullify the results. Times taken at the entrance of the velodrome were used for the general classification, and stage prizes were shared among all riders.https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k4631782n/f2.item.zoom Le VIIIe Tour d'Italie L'Auto French 7 June 1920http://www.archiviolastampa.it/component/option,com_lastampa/task,search/mod,libera/action,viewer/Itemid,3/page,4/articleid,1175_01_1920_0134A_0004_24858784/ La fine disastrosa del Giro d'Italia - Disorganizzazione enorme a Milano, Schierano taglia primo il traguardo? 7 June 1920 La Stampa Italian Final standings Stage results + Stage resultsStageDateCourseDistanceTypeMtns N In 1920, there was no distinction in the rules between plain stages and mountain stages; the icons shown here indicate that the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth stages included major mountains.WinnerRace Leader1 23 May Milan to Turin 348 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Giuseppe Olivieri ITA 1861 Giuseppe Olivieri ITA 18612 25 May Turin to Lucca 378 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Gaetano Belloni ITA 1861 Gaetano Belloni ITA 18613 27 May Lucca to Rome 386 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Gaetano Belloni ITA 1861 Gaetano Belloni ITA 18614 29 May Rome to Chieti 234 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Jean Alavoine FRA Gaetano Belloni ITA 18615 31 May Chieti to Macerata 236 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Leopoldo Torricelli ITA 1861 Angelo Gremo ITA 18616 2 June Macerata to Bologna 282 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Jean Alavoine FRA Angelo Gremo ITA 18617 4 June Bologna to Trieste 349 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Gaetano Belloni ITA 1861 Gaetano Belloni ITA 18618 6 June Trieste to Milan 421 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage 9 riders tiedTie N In stage 8, the sprint was disrupted when a horse got on the track, and all nine cyclists in the first group were declared winner.
