Ortelli when asked about his intentions at the Giro, replied "I will be running it." Kübler was seen as a threat to challenge Bartali and Coppi because his team was strong and had openly stated he would be in good form when the race hits Locarno. The French team (Helyett 1950) featured Apo Lazaridès and Lucien Teisseire, who placed second and third at the 1948 world championships, respectively. Legnano 1950 brought sprinter Adolfo Leoni who won several stages and wore the race leader's pink jersey late into the last year's race before Coppi took the race lead with two stages left and young rider Pasquale Fornara. Taurea 1950's Luciano Maggini was seen as a contender for the sprint finishes, while Alfredo Martini and Giancarlo Astrua were expected to achieve high final rankings in the general classification. l'Unità writer Attilio Camoriano expected Martini to be the "big surprise of the race."

The ninth stage in particular featured the three major climbs of Passo Rolle (1970 m 0 on), Passo Pordoi (2239 m 0 on), Gardena Pass (2120 m 0 on). In total the route was thought to be very flat as it contained 15000 m 0 on of climbing. In a break from tradition the race started in Milan rather than finishing in . This change was precipitated because 1950 was declared a Jubilee by Pope Pius XII. Due to the route changes, this meant the Dolomites would be visited during the middle of the race, while the Apennines would be traversed near the race's conclusion. Following the Milan opening in the Piazza del Duomo square, the race route veered west passing through Florence and Genoa on its way into the Dolomites and passing through finishing in Locarno, a Swiss town.https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1950/05/21/page_006.pdf Il "Giro" morde il freno come un cavallo al nastro Attilio Camoriano it 21 May 1950 6 l'Unità PCI 27 May 2012 PDF The "Giro" bites the brake like a ribbon horse https://web.archive.org/web/20190928155155/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1950/05/21/page_006.pdf 28 September 2019 live Then the route turned south and traveled down along the Adriatic coast and traversed the Apennines before returning north to finish in Rome. + Stage characteristics and resultshttp://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7906&p=1#page/1/mode/1up Dal cuore di Milano 33 Giro d'Italia Corriere dello Sport 24 May 1950 1 & 6 7 July 2013 it From the heart of Milan 33 Giro d'Italia https://web.archive.org/web/20190928155705/http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7906&p=1#page/1/mode/2up 28 September 2019 livehttp://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7905&p=1#page/1/mode/1up Così si presenta il XXXIII Giro d'Italia Corriere dello Sport 23 May 1950 1 & 3 7 July 2013 it This is how the XXXIII Giro d'Italia appears https://web.archive.org/web/20190928155357/http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7905&p=1#page/1/mode/2up 28 September 2019 livehttp://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7904&p=1#page/1/mode/1up Il XXXIII Giro d'Italia è sul piede di partenza Corriere dello Sport 22 May 1950 1 7 July 2013 it Ennio Mantella The XXXIII Giro d'Italia is on the starting foot https://web.archive.org/web/20190928155959/http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7904&p=1#page/1/mode/2up 28 September 2019 livehttp://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7903&p=1#page/1/mode/1up Squadre forti e organiche nel XXXIII Giro d'Italia Corriere dello Sport 20 May 1950 1 & 6 7 July 2013 it Ennio Mantella Strong and organic teams in the XXXIII Giro d'Italia https://web.archive.org/web/20190928160330/http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7903&p=1#page/1/mode/2up 28 September 2019 livehttp://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7902&p=1#page/1/mode/1up Gli abbuoni per velocisti e scalatori del XXXIII Giro d'Italia Corriere dello Sport 19 May 1950 1 & 6 7 July 2013 it The bonuses for sprinters and climbers of the XXXIII Giro d'Italia https://web.archive.org/web/20190928160659/http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=7902&p=1#page/1/mode/2up 28 September 2019 live Stage Date Course Distance Type Winner124 MayMilan to Salsomaggiore Terme225 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Oreste Conte ITA225 MaySalsomaggiore Terme to Florence245 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Alfredo Martini ITA326 MayFlorence to Livorno148 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Olimpio Bizzi ITA427 MayLivorno to Genoa216 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Antonio Bevilacqua ITA528 MayGenoa to Turin245 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Franco Franchi ITA629 MayTurin to Locarno (Switzerland)220 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Hugo Koblet SUI731 MayLocarno (Switzerland) to Brescia293 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Luciano Maggini ITA81 JuneBrescia to Vicenza214 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Hugo Koblet SUI92 JuneVicenza to Bolzano272 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Gino Bartali ITA3 June Rest day104 JuneBolzano to Milan294 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Mario Fazio ITA115 JuneMilan to Ferrara251 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Adolfo Leoni ITA126 JuneFerrara to Rimini144 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Antonio Bevilacqua ITA137 JuneRimini to Arezzo244 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Luciano Maggini ITA148 JuneArezzo to Perugia185 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Fritz Schär SUI9 June Rest day1510 JunePerugia to L'Aquila185 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Giancarlo Astrua ITA1611 JuneL'Aquila to Campobasso203 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s) Fiorenzo Magni ITA1712 JuneCampobasso to Naples167 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Annibale Brasola ITA1813 JuneNaples to Rome230 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stage Oreste Conte ITA Total 3981 km 0 on Classification leadership The leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider, and subtracting time bonusesvan den Akker 2023 68 – wore a pink jersey.

Koblet won the first bracelet for winning the sixth stage into Locarno by 1' 48s, while the second bracelet was given to Astrua for his victory on the fifteenth leg that finished in L'Aquila. He won that stage by five minutes and six seconds. A classification was kept regarding the amount of stage victories per rider. The classification was split by four riders who each won two stages: Conte (stages 1 and 18), Bevilacqua (stages 4 and 12), Koblet (stages, and 8), and Luciano Maggini (stages 7 and 13). Aftermath Following the race, the entire peloton that finished the race traveled to St. Peter's Basilica to hear a Wednesday service by Pope Pius XII on 14 June.http://doc.rero.ch/record/227168/files/1950-06-15.pdf Apres le Tour d'Italie After the Tour of Italy fr La Sentinelle 15 June 1950 4 https://web.archive.org/web/20191001021854/http://doc.rero.ch/record/227168/files/1950-06-15.pdf 1 October 2019 live RERO In particular, Koblet and Bartali spoke with the Pope personally and the Pope asked of Coppi's health. Previous winner Fausto Coppi, who was recovering in a Trento hospital, commented "Koblet deserved to win the Tour of Italy and he is worthy of all praise." Following the race, Guerra announced Koblet renewed his contract with the team. A Swiss newspaper writer Nouvelliste Valaisan'' wrote that the Swiss riders dominated the race, holding the race lead for all but two days, and all five Swiss riders that started, finished the race.http://doc.rero.ch/record/189245/files/1950-06-15.pdf Apres le "Giro" After the "Giro" fr E.U.

The writer also felt that Koblet's victory earned Swiss cycling respect within the cycling community and may lead to an invitation for a ten-man team to a future Tour de France – which at the time was contested by national teams rather than trade teams. Ferdinand Kübler was viewed to have a great race relative when compared to his last Grand Tour, the 1949 Tour de France. Based on his high finish Kübler was expected to seriously contend at the upcoming Tour de France.https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1950/06/14/page_006.pdf Il 33 Giro d'Italia si e concluso ieri a Roma con la vittoria di Koblet davanti a Bartali it 14 June 1950 6 l'Unità PCI Attilio Camoriano 27 May 2012 PDF The 33rd Giro d'Italia ended yesterday in Rome with the victory of Koblet in front of Bartali https://web.archive.org/web/20191001021251/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1950/06/14/page_006.pdf 1 October 2019 live Had the race been run without time bonuses factored into the general classification, Bartali would have won the race by 18 seconds over Koblet.
