Following the sixth stage's conclusion the race took a five–hour train to Catania where the upcoming stage began. With the seventh stage hosting a summit finish to Mount Etna (1892 m 0 on) it was hoped to be pivotal in the general classification race. However, due to the long transfers forced on the riders by organizer Torriani, the riders rode at a slow pace until the race's final three kilometers. On the penultimate stage, Frenchman Anquetil was attacked several times. Felice Gimondi finally made the decisive attack, escaping alone and winning by four minutes. Jacques Anquetil considered himself robbed, claiming that Felice Gimondi had escaped by being taken away by the assistant race director's car. He finished third in the Giro, behind Felice Gimondi and Franco Balmamion. Jacques Anquetil's words were corroborated on his deathbed in 2012 by Giovanni Michelotti, the race director at the time.31 May 2023 Philippe Brunel 13 May 2016 Et Gimondi vola un Giro à Anquetil... https://www.lequipe.fr/Cyclisme-sur-route/Article/Et-gimondi-vola-un-giro-a-anquetil/672719 lequipe.fr. Classification leadership Two leader's jerseys were worn during the 1967 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 1967.van den Akker 2023 68 For the points classification, which awarded a red jersey to its leader, cyclists were given points for finishing a stage in the top 15.http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=12319&p=1#page/9/mode/1up Regolamento Corriere dello Sport 19 May 1966 9 7 July 2013 it Regulation https://web.archive.org/web/20141223155321/http://dlib.coninet.it/bookreader.php?&c=1&f=12337&p=1#page/9/mode/1up 23 December 2014 deadvan den Akker 2023 85 A major secondary classification was the mountains classification.
