The field featured four former Giro d'Italia champions in four-time winner Alfredo Binda, two-time champion Costante Girardengo, 1920 winner Gaetano Belloni, and reigning winner Francesco Camusso. Other notable Italian riders that started the race included Learco Guerra, Giovanni Gerbi, Felice Gremo, and Domenico Piemontesi. The reigning winner of the Tour de France, Frenchman Antonin Magne, raced started the Giro, along with Belgian Jef Demuysere who finished second at the 1931 Tour de France. Race summary As in the year before, Guerra won the first stage, and became the first leader in the general classification. In the second stage, Buse escaped solo, and won by a margin of more than eleven minutes. He became the first German rider to ever lead the Giro. Buse stayed in the lead until the sixth stage. In the seventh stage, Pesenti attacked. The riders rode faster than expected, and reached the finish one hour earlier than scheduled, which almost caused a problem because the stadium had to be opened for the riders to enter. Pesenti won the stage, and took enough time to become the new leader of the general classification. Pesenti had started the race as team mate of Alfredo Binda, and was not seen as a favorite for the victory. After this seventh stage, Binda declared that Pesenti would be the new captain in the team. In the eighth stage, Gerbi was disqualified after receiving help from a car. Gerbi did not accept this, and continued to ride all stages, joining the race. He was not included in the results.van den Akker 2023 58 The twelfth stage ended in a sprint, won by Giaccobe.
