In 1963, this was not a one-day-race, but held over several stages. In the second stage, Marino Fontana had a flat tire, and was then assisted by a rider from a different team, which was against the rules. The union of Italian professional cyclists (organizers of the event) did not see this as a problem, but the Italian cycling union decided to disqualify Fontana. The organization ignored the union, and allowed Fontana to ride the third stage. Fontana gained enough points to win the championship, and was given the national jersey to wear. At the start of the Giro, Fontana wore this national jersey. The Giro was organized by the Italian cycling union, and they forbade him to wear this jersey because they did not see him as national champion. Fontana came to the start of the second stage again wearing this jersey, and the jury told him that he should take it off or else he would not be allowed to start. Fontana did not change this jersey, and the jury collectively quit. Without a jury, the race could not start, so the start of the second stage was delayed until a new jury could be found. The GBC team, made out of Belgian and Dutch riders, then abandoned the race. They gave the reason that the race no longer appeared to be sanctioned by the Italian cycling union, and so it could be seen as an illegal race, and the Belgian and Dutch cycling unions could suspend them. After this, the Italian National Olympic Committee took responsibility for the rest of the race.van den Akker 2023 27 Classification leadership One leader's jersey was worn during the 1963 Giro d'Italia. The leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider – wore a pink jersey. 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 There were no time bonuses in 1963.van den Akker 2023 68 A major secondary classification was the mountains classification. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. There were three categories of mountains. The first category awarded 50, 40, 30, 20, and 10 points, the second distributed 40, 30, 20, and 10 points, and the third category gave 30, 20, and 10 points.van den Akker 2023 88 There were also intermediate sprints, called "traguardi tricolori", and this year there was a classification related to these.van den Akker 2023 99 The first five riders at each intermediate sprint scored points.van den Akker 2023 101 Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the teams were awarded points for their rider's performance during the stages. This classification was named the "Ramazzotti" classification, and points were given for high positions in stages, intermediate sprints and mountain tops, and leading the general classification.van den Akker 2023 81 +Classification leadership by stagehttps://web.archive.org/web/20240623232035/https://www.tourdefrancestatistieken.nl/giro.php?jaar=1963 23 June 2024 https://www.tourdefrancestatistieken.nl/giro.php?jaar=1963 tourdefrancestatistieken.nl Informatie over de Giro d'Italia van 1963 Stage WinnerGeneral classification25px|link=|alt=A pink jerseyMountains classificationTeam classification 1 Vittorio Adorni Vittorio Adorni not awarded GBC 2 Pierino Baffi Cynar 3 Jaime Alomar Carpano 4 Guido Carlesi Diego Ronchini Vito Taccone Molteni 5 Vendramino Bariviera Carpano 6 Vendramino Bariviera 7 Nino Defilippis 8 Adriano Durante 9 Giorgio Zancanaro Giorgio Zancanaro 10 Vito Taccone 11 Vito Taccone 12 Vito Taccone Franco Balmamion Vito Taccone 13 Vito Taccone 14 Marino Vigna 15 Franco Magnani 16 Vittorio Adorni Diego Ronchini 17 Vendramino Bariviera 18 Arnaldo Pambianco Vittorio Adorni 19 Vito Taccone Franco Balmamion 20 Guido Carlesi 21 Antonio Bailetti Final Franco Balmamion Vito Taccone Carpano Final standings Legend   20px|alt=Pink jersey   Denotes the winner of the General classification General classification + Final general classification (1–10)http://archiviostorico.unita.it/cgi-bin/highlightPdf.cgi?t=ebook&file=/archivio/uni_1963_06/19630610_0007.pdf Il <<Giro>> in cifre it 10 June 1963 7 l'Unità PCI 27 May 2012 PDF The <<Tour>> in numbers https://web.archive.org/web/20150311034531/http://archiviostorico.unita.it/cgi-bin/highlightPdf.cgi?t=ebook&file=%2Farchivio%2Funi_1963_06%2F19630610_0007.pdf 2015-03-11 dead http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1963/06/10/MD19630610-008.pdf Termino Bajo La Lluvia es 10 June 1963 8 El Mundo Deportivo 27 May 2012 End in the Rain https://web.archive.org/web/20150311033713/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1963/06/10/MD19630610-008.pdf 11 March 2015 liveRankNameTeamTime 1 Franco Balmamion ITA 20px|link=General classification in the Giro d'Italia|alt=Pink jersey Carpano 116h 50' 16" 2 Vittorio Adorni ITA Cynar + 2' 24" 3 Giorgio Zancanaro ITA San Pellegrino + 3' 15" 4 Guido De Rosso ITA Molteni + 6' 34" 5 Diego Ronchini ITA Salvarani + 10' 11" 6 Vito Taccone ITA Lygie + 11' 50" 7 Imerio Massignan ITA Legnano + 16' 52" 8 Guido Carlesi ITA Molteni + 17' 08" 9 Graziano Battistini ITA IBAC + 23' 38" 10 Carlo Brugnami ITA Gazzola + 25' 36" Mountains classification + Final mountains classification (1–9)NameTeamPoints 1 Vito Taccone ITA Lygie 420 2 Giorgio Zancanaro ITA San Pellegrino 120 3 Franco Bitossi ITA Springoil 100 4 Enzo Moser ITA San Pellegrino 80 5 Vittorio Adorni ITA Cynar 60 6 Franco Balmamion ITA 20px|link=General classification in the Giro d'Italia|alt=Pink jersey Carpano 50 7 Giancarlo Ceppi ITA Springoil 40 Imerio Massignan ITA Legnano 9 Arnaldo Pambianco ITA Salvarani 30 Italo Zilioli ITA Carpano Traguardi tricolori classification + Final traguardi tricolori classification (1–10)NameTeamPoints 1 Vito Taccone ITA Lygie 99 2 Franco Bitossi ITA Springoil 85 3 Raffaele Marcoli ITA Legnano 51 4 Marino Fontana ITA San Pellegrino 50 5 Vittorio Adorni ITA Cynar 42 6 Antonio Bailetti ITA Carpano 35 7 Giorgio Zancanaro ITA San Pellegrino 30 8 Antonio Franchi ITA Lygie 29 9 Gilberto Vendemiati ITA Gazzola 27 10 Germano Barale ITA Carpano 25 Team classification + Final team classification (1–10)TeamPoints 1 Carpano 4,098 2 Lygie 3,167 3 Cynar 2,827 4 San Pellegrino 2,762 5 Molteni 2,333 6 Springoil 2,248 7 Salvarani 2,134 8 IBAC 1,878 9 Gazzola 1,860 10 Legnano 1,683 References Citations 30em Bibliography van den Akker Pieter Giro d'Italia, Rules and Statistics 2023 979-8863173719 1963 Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia Giro d'Italia Category:1963 Super Prestige Pernod
