There were four teams that competed in the race: Bianchi-Salga, Ganna-Dunlop, Legnano-Pirelli, and Maino-Bergougnan. The peloton was almost completely composed of Italians. The field featured three former Giro d'Italia champion in the 1919 Giro d'Italia winner Costante Girardengo, 1920 Giro d'Italia winner Gaetano Belloni and 1921 Giro d'Italia winner Giovanni Brunero. Other notable Italian riders that started the race included Bartolomeo Aymo. Race summary In the first stage, Giovanni Brunero was leading the race solo, when he crashed, and broke a wheel. When his team mate Alfredo Sivocci reached him, Sivocci gave his wheel to Brunero. Brunero continued and won the stage. However, wheel changes were not allowed, so the competing teams appealed to the jury, requesting Brunero to be disqualified. The jury did so, but after appeal from Brunero and his team, they allowed Brunero to continue, and asked the Italian Cycling federation to decide what should happen. Brunero thus started the second stage as leader. That second stage was won by Girardengo, but Brunero remained in the lead. In the third stage, all riders finished in the same time (the first time that this happened in the Girovan den Akker 2023 49), so Brunero remained leader. However, the Italian cycling federation came with a verdict: Brunero was allowed to continue in the Giro, but was given a penalty of 25 minutes. This made Belloni the new leader, with Girardengo in second place. Belloni and Girardengo were not satisfied with this outcome, and thought that Brunero should have been disqualified; out of protest, they and their teams left the race. The Legnano team was now almost unopposed, and Bartolomeo Aymo became the new leader in the general classification, with Brunero just behind him. Aymo remained leader until the seventh stage, where Brunero made use of his superior climbing skills, gaining a few minutes on his team mate. Over the next stages, Brunero extended his lead, and became the winner of the 1922 Giro.
