Other notable Italian riders that started the race included Giuseppe Olmo, Raffaele Di Paco, Remo Bertoni, and Domenico Piemontesi. French cyclist and two-time Tour de France champion André Leducq entered the Giro d'Italia for the first time in his career. Other notable non-Italian riders included: Maurice Archambaud, Jef Demuysere, and René Vietto. At the start of this Giro, there were 6 former Giro winners (Girardengo, Marchisio, Camusso, Pesenti, Binda and Guerra), winning in total eleven stages, a record in Giro history. Also present were Bergamaschi and Bartali, making for a total of 15 Giro victories between 1919 and 1946, another record.van den Akker 2023 70 Race summary Bergamaschi won the sprint in the first stage, and became the first leader. The second stage saw an escape by Piemontesi and Fantini; Piemontesi won the stage by a few seconds, and took the pink jersey. The third stage ended in a bunch sprint won by Guerra, and Piemontesi stayed in the lead. The fourth stage also ended in a bunch sprint won by Guerra, but Piemontesi lost time in that stage, so Fantini inherited the pink jersey. The first half of the fifth stage was a time trial. Olmo won, and became the new leader, with Bergamaschi in second place. The sixth stage was the pivotal moment of the 1935 Giro: a group escaped, including Bergamaschi and Bartali. Both were not seen as potential Giro winners, but had started this Giro as domestiques for their team captains Girardengo and Martano. The group was given freedom to ride away; afterwards other teams complained that the Giro organisation did not inform them about the margin. At the finish line, Bartali won his first ever Giro stage, and Bergamaschi won enough time to become the new leader in the general classification.http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&f=2337&p=1&c=1#page/1/mode/1up Bartali e Cecchi danno battaglia sulla salita delle Capannelle e tagliano nell'ordine, separati da 26 secondi, il traguardo di Aquila Italian 25 May 1935 1 Il Littoriale Coninet In the stages that followed, Bergamaschi did not crack.
