It started off in Porto Azzurro on 23 May with a split stage, with the first leg being a mass-start stage and the latter an individual time trial. The race ended on 13 June with a stage that stretched 166 km 1 on from Biella to Milan. Twenty teams entered the race, which was won by Miguel Induráin of the GCE 1993 team. Second and third respectively were the Latvian Piotr Ugrumov and the Italian rider, Claudio Chiappucci. Indurain's victory in the 1993 Giro was his first step in completing the Giro – Tour double – winning the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France in one calendar year – becoming the first rider to repeat this feat in consecutive years. Moreno Argentin was the first rider to wear the race leader's maglia rosa (en pink jersey) after winning the opening stage. Argentin held that lead for ten more days before losing it to Miguel Induráin after the conclusion stage 10. Bruno Leali stole the lead away from Indurain after the race's eleventh leg and held it until the end of the fourteenth day of racing. Indurain gained the lead after mountainous stage 14 and then held it all the way to the Giro's finish in Milan. Indurain became the first Spanish rider to win the Giro d'Italia in consecutive years. Amongst the other classifications that the race awarded, Italian Adriano Baffi of UNO 1993 won the points competition, CAR 1993's Claudio Chiappucci won the mountains classification, LAM 1993's Pavel Tonkov completed the Giro as the best rider aged 25 or younger in the general classification, finishing fifth overall, and Ján Svorada of Lampre-Polti won the intergiro competition. Lampre-Polti finished as the winners of the team classification, ranking each of the twenty teams contesting the race by lowest cumulative time. Ariostea finished as winners of the team points classification.

Despite this, Indurain was viewed as the favorite to win the general classification. Maurizio Fondriest (LAM 1993) was thought to have entered in peak form after winning several races in the spring campaign, including Milan–San Remo and Tirreno–Adriatico.http://doc.rero.ch/record/71706/files/1993-05-21.pdf Plus jamais deuxième!

Indurain felt Fondriest was the rider to watch in the race's first week. Gianni Bugno (Chateau d'Ax 1993), who won the race in 1990, prepared at lengths for the race and was seen as a threat in the time trial stages. Bugno won only one race before the Giro started, the Grand Prix Gippingen earlier in May, but was thought to have a strong showing at the Amstel Gold Race. Author Bill McGann dismissed Bugno saying that his ability to "win at will" had passed. With no victories in the season, 1991 winner and 3rd-place finisher in 1992, Franco Chioccioli (GBM 1993) was considered a dark–horse contender. Other favorites named for the race included Pavel Tonkov and 1988 winner Andrew Hampsten as contenders for the overall crown. Claudio Chiappucci was thought to be one of the most potent climbers in the race. Specifically, a L'Express writer commented that Chiappucci's performance on the Sestriere time trial in the 1992 Tour de France as an example of his climbing prowess. In addition, he had several second-place finishes in the Giro and Tour the previous year. Famed sprinters Mario Cipollini and Djamolidine Abdoujaparov did not compete in the race, while Dutch sprinter Jean-Paul van Poppel was going to race in the Giro but was left off the roster before it started. With the aforementioned riders' absence, Dalmases stated that Italian Adriano Baffi would likely win some of the flat stages.

When compared to the previous year's race, the race was 141 km 0 on shorter, contained one more rest day, more mountains, and lacked an opening time trial prologue. In addition, this race contained one fewer stage, but two more sets of half stages. For the first time since 1954, when live coverage began, the race was not broadcast by RAI.http://www.giroditalia.it/eng/special-editions/1993/ 1993 2017 Giro d'Italia La Gazzetta dello Sport 13 June 2017 https://web.archive.org/web/20170725225908/http://www.giroditalia.it/eng/special-editions/1993/ 25 July 2017 live Instead it was broadcast by Reti Televisive Italiane (RTI) on the Italia 1 channel. The race began with a split stage on the island of Elba, where Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled briefly in 1814. This was the first time the race began on the island of Elba. The race last visited in 1980 where the race finished in Portoferraio with a sprint finish won by Carmelo Barone. The route contained less time trials than the 1992 route, which Italian rider Claudio Chiappucci had requested. The race's fourteenth stage, which began and ended in Corvara, was named the queen stage for the amount of difficult mountains contained in the stage. Italian rider Franco Chioccioli liked that there were more points of attack in the race and believed that played into Miguel Induráin's hands.http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1992/11/15/MD19921115-037.pdf Un Giro duro y equilibrado es 15 November 1992 37 El Mundo Deportivo 27 May 2012 PDF A Hard and Balanced Tour https://web.archive.org/web/20140714125159/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1992/11/15/MD19921115-037.pdf 14 July 2014 live +Stage resultshttps://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1993/05/23/page_028.pdf Miguel el Conquistador it 23 May 1993 28 l'Unità PCI 27 May 2012 PDF Miguel the Conquistador https://web.archive.org/web/20200518172032/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1993/05/23/page_028.pdf 18 May 2020 http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1993/06/14/MD19930614-034.pdf Milán se convierte en Villava por unas horas es 14 June 1993 34 El Mundo Deportivo 27 May 2012 PDF Milan becomes Villava for a few hours https://web.archive.org/web/20160304085519/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1993/06/14/MD19930614-034.pdf 4 March 2016 live StageDateCourseDistanceTypeWinner1a23 MayPorto Azzurro to Portoferraio 85 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Moreno Argentin ITA1bPortoferraio 9 km 0 on22px|link=|alt=Individual time trialMaurizio Fondriest ITA224 MayGrosseto to Rieti 224 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageAdriano Baffi ITA325 MayRieti to Scanno 153 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Piotr Ugrumov LAT426 MayLago di Scanno to Marcianise 179 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageFabio Baldato ITA527 MayPaestum to Terme Luigiane 210 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Dimitri Konyshev RUS628 MayVillafranca Tirrena to Messina 130 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageGuido Bontempi ITA729 MayCapo d'Orlando to Agrigento 240 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageBjarne Riis DENNote: Later admitted doping.830 MayAgrigento to Palermo 140 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageAdriano Baffi ITA31 May Rest day91 JuneMontelibretti to Fabriano 216 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageGiorgio Furlan ITA102 JuneSenigallia to Senigallia 28 km 0 on22px|link=|alt=Individual time trialMiguel Induráin ESP113 JuneSenigallia to Dozza 184 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageFabiano Fontanelli ITA124 JuneDozza to Asiago 239 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Dimitri Konyshev RUS135 JuneAsiago to Corvara 220 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Moreno Argentin ITA146 JuneCorvara to Corvara 245 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Claudio Chiappucci ITA157 JuneCorvara to Lumezzane 263 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Davide Cassani ITA168 JuneLumezzane to Borgo Val di Taro 181 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageFabio Baldato ITA179 JuneVarazze to Pontechianale 223 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Marco Saligari ITA1810 JuneSampeyre to Fossano 150 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageAdriano Baffi ITA1911 JunePinerolo to Sestriere 55 km 0 on22px|link=|alt=Individual time trialMiguel Induráin ESP2012 JuneTurin to Santuario di Oropa 162 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Stage with mountain(s)Massimo Ghirotto ITA2113 JuneBiella to Milan 166 km 0 on 22px|link=|alt=Plain stageFabio Baldato ITA Total 3702 km 0 on Race overview 1993 Giro d'Italia, Stage 1a to Stage 10 1993 Giro d'Italia, Stage 11 to Stage 21 left|thumb|alt=A man wearing a navy pinstriped button-up with his arms behind his back.|Adriano Baffi won three stages at the 1993 Giro d'Italia.

Classification leadership Five different jerseys were worn during the 1993 Giro d'Italia. The leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider, and allowing time bonuses for the first three finishers on mass-start stages – 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 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 right|thumb|alt=A picture of a mountain.|The Pordoi Pass was the Cima Coppi for the 1993 running of the Giro d'Italia. For the points classification, which awarded a purple (or cyclamen) jersey to its leader, cyclists were given points for finishing a stage in the top 15; additional points could also be won in intermediate sprints. Time bonuses were awarded to the riders who placed in the top three on flat stages, with first, second, and third receiving 12, 8, and 4, seconds bonus, respectively. The green jersey was awarded to the mountains classification leader. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. Each climb was ranked as either first, second or third category, with more points available for higher category climbs. The Cima Coppi, the race's highest point of elevation, awarded more points than the other first category climbs. The Cima Coppi for this Giro was the Passo Pordoi. The first rider to cross the Pordoi Pass was Spaniard Miguel Induráin. The white jersey was worn by the leader of young rider classification, a ranking decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders born after 1 January 1969 were eligible for it. The intergiro classification was marked by a blue jersey. The calculation for the intergiro is similar to that of the general classification, in each stage there is a midway point that the riders pass through a point and where their time is stopped. As the race goes on, their times compiled and the person with the lowest time is the leader of the intergiro classification and wears the blue jersey. For each intergiro sprint, the first three riders across the line would receive time bonuses of 6, 4, and 2 seconds, respectively. Although no jersey was awarded, there was also a classification for the teams, in which the stage finish times of the best three cyclists per team were added; the leading team was the one with the lowest total time. There was another team classification that awarded points to each team based on their riding's finishing position in every stage. The team with the highest total of points was the leader of the classification. The rows in the following table correspond to the jerseys awarded after that stage was run. +Classification leadership by stage Stage WinnerGeneral classification25px|link=|alt=Points classification25px|link=|alt=Mountains classification25px|link=|alt=Young rider classification25px|link=|alt=Intergiro classification25px|link=|alt=Trofeo Fast Team 1a Moreno Argentin Moreno Argentin Moreno Argentin not awarded Francesco Casagrande not awarded GEW 1993 1b Maurizio Fondriest Eddy Seigneur 2 Adriano Baffi Marco Saligari Francesco Casagrande Francesco Casagrande 3 Piotr Ugrumov Stefano Colagè 4 Fabio Baldato 5 Dimitri Konyshev Ján Svorada CAR 1993 6 Guido Bontempi Adriano Baffi 7 Bjarne Riis Ariostea 8 Adriano Baffi Mariano Piccoli Stefano Colagè 9 Giorgio Furlan 10 Miguel Induráin Miguel Induráin GEW 1993 11 Fabiano Fontanelli Bruno Leali LAM 1993 12 Dimitri Konyshev Pavel Tonkov 13 Moreno Argentin Ján Svorada 14 Claudio Chiappucci Miguel Induráin Claudio Chiappucci Stefano Colagè CAR 1993 15 Davide Cassani Mariano Piccoli 16 Fabio Baldato Maurizio Fondriest 17 Marco Saligari Ján Svorada 18 Adriano Baffi Adriano Baffi Claudio Chiappucci LAM 1993 19 Miguel Induráin 20 Massimo Ghirotto 21 Fabio Baldato Final Miguel Induráin Adriano Baffi Claudio Chiappucci Pavel Tonkov Ján Svorada LAM 1993 Final standings Legend   20px|alt=A pink jersey   Denotes the winner of the General classification   20px|alt=A green jersey   Denotes the winner of the Mountains classification   20px|alt=A purple jersey   Denotes the winner of the Points classification   20px|alt=A white jersey   Denotes the winner of the Young rider classification   20px|alt=A blue jersey   Denotes the winner of the Intergiro classification General classification + Final general classification (1–10)RiderTeamTime 1 Miguel Induráin ESP 20px|alt=Pink jersey GCE 1993 98h 09' 44" 2 Piotr Ugrumov LAT GEW 1993 + 58" 3 Claudio Chiappucci ITA 20px|alt=A green jersey CAR 1993 + 5' 27" 4 Massimiliano Lelli ITA Ariostea + 6' 09" 5 Pavel Tonkov RUS 20px|alt=A white jersey LAM 1993 + 7' 11" 6 Moreno Argentin ITA GEW 1993 + 9' 12" 7 Vladimir Pulnikov RUS CAR 1993 + 11' 30" 8 Maurizio Fondriest ITA LAM 1993 + 12' 53" 9 Stephen Roche IRL CAR 1993 + 13' 31" 10 Zenon Jaskuła POL GBM 1993 + 13' 41" Points classification + Final points classification (1–5)https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1994/05/19/page_047.pdf Le classifiche del '93 it 19 May 1994 12 l'Unità PCI 22 June 2012 PDF The classifications of '93 https://web.archive.org/web/20200518171111/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1994/05/19/page_047.pdf 18 May 2020 RiderTeamPoints 1 Adriano Baffi ITA 20px|alt=purple jersey UNO 1993 228 2 Maurizio Fondriest ITA LAM 1993 187 3 Miguel Induráin ESP 20px|alt=Pink jersey GCE 1993 167 4 Fabio Baldato ITA GBM 1993 164 5 Moreno Argentin ITA GEW 1993 141 Mountains classification + Final mountains classification (1–5)RiderTeamPoints 1 Claudio Chiappucci ITA 20px|alt=A green jersey CAR 1993 42 2 Mariano Piccoli ITA UNO 1993 40 3 Miguel Induráin ESP 20px|alt=Pink jersey GCE 1993 33 Gianluca Bortolami ITA LAM 1993 5 Piotr Ugrumov LAT GEW 1993 32 Young rider classification + Final young rider's classification (1–5)RiderTeamTime 1 Pavel Tonkov RUS 20px|alt=A white jersey LAM 1993 98h 16' 55" 2 Wladimir Belli ITA LAM 1993 + 11' 35" 3 Francesco Casagrande ITA UNO 1993 + 1h 07' 38" 4 Kai Hundertmarck GER MOT 1993 + 1h 15' 15" 5 Vladislav Bobrik RUS GEW 1993 + 1h 43' 22" Intergiro classification + Final intergiro classification (1–5)RiderTeamTime 1 Ján Svorada CZE 20px|alt=A blue jersey LAM 1993 53h 10' 33" 2 Stefano Colagè ITA ZG Mobili + 40" 3 Miguel Induráin ESP 20px|alt=Pink jersey GCE 1993 + 41" 4 Adriano Baffi ITA 20px|alt=purple jersey UNO 1993 + 1' 10" 5 Piotr Ugrumov LAT GEW 1993 + 1' 42" Team classification + Final team classification (1–5)TeamTime 1 LAM 1993 294h 50' 53" 2 CAR 1993 + 2' 24" 3 Ariostea + 6' 47" 4 GEW 1993 + 9' 59" 5 UNO 1993 + 22' 56" Team points classification + Final team points classification (1–5)TeamPoints 1 Ariostea 531 2 UNO 1993 460 3 LAM 1993 444 4 CAR 1993 417 5 GEW 1993 383 Aftermath Miguel Induráin entered the Tour de France in July as the favorite to win the race.
