The 1987 Giro d'Italia was the 70th edition of the Giro d'Italia, one of cycling's Grand Tours. The Giro started off in San Remo on 21 May with a 4 km (2.5 mi) prologue. The race concluded with a 32 km (19.9 mi) individual time trial on 13 June that stretched from Aosta to Saint-Vincent. Twenty teams entered the race that was won by the Irishman Stephen Roche of the Carrera Jeans-Vagabond team.[1] Second and third respectively were the British rider Robert Millar and Dutchman Erik Breukink.[1] It was the second time in the history of the Giro that the final podium was occupied exclusively by non-Italian riders; Breukink would also be a part of a similar non-Italian final podium in 1988.[2][3] Roche's victory in the 1987 Giro was his first step in completing the Triple Crown of Cycling – winning the Giro d'Italia, the Tour de France, and the World Championship road race in one calendar year[4] – becoming the second rider ever to do so, with the first being Eddy Merckx in 1974.[5][6]

Roche took the lead of the race from Erik Breukink after Roche's Carrera Jeans-Vagabond won the stage three team time trial.[7] The defending champion, Roberto Visentini – a team-mate of Roche – briefly grabbed the race leader's maglia rosa for a two-day period after the stage 13 individual time trial.[8] Roche then claimed the race lead from Visentini, after the mountainous fifteenth stage.[9] Roche successfully defended the overall lead from attacks from Visentini and the other general classification contenders all the way to Giro's end in Saint-Vincent.[3][5]

Stephen Roche became the first Irishman to win the Giro d'Italia after crossing the race's finish line in Saint-Vincent.[3][10] In addition to the general classification, Roche also won the combination classification.[3] Amongst the other classifications that the race awarded, Johan van der Velde of Gis Gelati – Jollyscarpe won the points classification and Selca – Conti's Roberto Conti completed the Giro as the best neo-professional in the general classification, finishing fifteenth overall. Panasonic-Isostar finishing as the winners of the team classification, ranking each of the twenty teams contesting the race by lowest cumulative time.[3][10]

Teams [edit]

A total of 20 teams were invited to participate in the 1987 Giro d'Italia. Each team sent a squad of nine riders, so the Giro began with a peloton of 180 cyclists. Out of the 180 riders that started this edition of the Giro d'Italia, a total of 133 riders made it to the finish in Saint-Vincent.[3]

Route and stages [edit]

The 1987 edition of the Giro d'Italia began with a short 4 km (2.5 mi) prologue that navigated around the Italian city of San Remo. There were a total of seven stages that held many high mountains, while there were four hilly stages that contained climbs of lesser degree. Eight of the stages were primarily flat stages. The official route contained five time trials, four of which were individual and one of which was a team event.

Out of the seven mountain stages in the race five of them had summit finishes: stage 1a to San Romolo,[11][12] stage 6 to Monte Terminillo,[12] stage 15 to Sappada,[5][13] stage 19 to Madesimo,[12] and stage 21 to Pila.[5][12] The thirteenth stage, an individual time trial, had a summit finish in San Marino.[12]

Race overview [edit]

Moreno Argentin
Moreno Argentin won of three of the first seven stages.

The Giro began with a brief 4 km (2.5 mi) prologue that navigated through the streets of San Remo. The returning winner of the Giro, Roberto Visentini, won the opening prologue by two hundredths of a second over the Canadian rider Steve Bauer.[15] The next race day held two stages, the first of which was a short 31 km (19.3 mi) stage with a summit finish. Panasonic-Isostar's Erik Breukink took the stage with a solo attack.[16] His performance in stage 1a was enough to earn him the coveted maglia rosa,[15] which he would keep until stage 4a. The next, stage 1b, was an individual time trial. Stephen Roche took the time trial with a three second margin over the time trial specialist Lech Piasecki.[5] The second stage was a hilly stage, which ultimately came down to a bunch sprint that Moreno Argentin won.[15] The third stage was a lengthy team time trial that stretched from Lerici to Camaiore. Carrera Jeans-Vagabond beat out the Del Tongo squad by fifty-four seconds to win the leg. In addition to winning the day of racing, Carrera Jeans-Vagabond's Stephen Roche took the overall lead.[5][13] Gewiss-Bianchi's Moreno Argentin sprinted away from the leading group on the road to win the fourth stage.[17] The following day, the race came down to a bunch sprint that the Belgian Eddy Planckaert won.[18]

Roche successfully defended the race lead, until the stage thirteen 46 km (28.6 mi) individual time trial with a summit finish, where he lost the lead to his teammate and the stage winner Roberto Visentini.[8] Roche lost over two minutes to Visentini, as he claimed to have been recovering from a crash.[19] The next stage was a relatively flat one, which came down to a sprint finish that Remac – Fanini's Paolo Cimini won.[19] The fifteenth stage was a very mountainous one, since it contained three major climbs in the Dolomites.[5] Roche attacked on the descent of the Monte Rest, despite orders from his team management to not attack.[5][20] Roche's team, Carrera Jeans-Vagabond, chased after him, in order to protect the race leader Vinsentini.[5][13] A group of riders later joined Roche, but Visentini was not a part of the group.[5] Roche ultimately crossed the line 46 seconds after the stage winner Johan van der Velde.[9] Roche's attack gave him the race lead by five seconds over Tony Rominger.[19] Roche's actions, taking the race lead away from the Italian Roberto Vicentini and disobeying team commands, gained him the hatred of the tifosi, the Italian sports fans.[21] Van der Velde struck again the next day by winning stage 16.[22] Stage 17 was the Giro's last day in the Dolomites.[5] The stage was won by Marco Vitali,[23] who out-sprinted his two fellow breakaway members for the stage win.[24] As the Giro left the Dolomites, the general classification began to take shape as time gaps between the high ranking riders became larger.[5]

Stephen Roche

The primarily flat eighteenth stage stretched from Riva del Garda to Trescore Balneario, as the riders prepared to race through the Alps in the next few stages.[5] The day of racing came down to a bunch sprint that Atala – Ofmega's Giuseppe Calcaterra won by out-sprinting the likes of Paolo Rosola and Johan van der Velde.[25] The first Alpine stage of the Giro, stage 19, contained a summit finish in Madesimo.[23] Jean-François Bernard won the first Alpine leg by means of a solo attack.[26] The twentieth day of racing was a flat stage, which came down to a bunch sprint that Gewiss-Bianchi rider Paolo Rosola won.[23] The next stage saw the reappearance of the high mountains in the Alps.[5] It also saw Roche, Robert Millar, and Marino Lejarreta break clear of the rest of the field and race to the finish in Pila.[23] That select group made it all the way to the finish line two minutes before the first chase group.[5] Millar won the stage by making a last second attack.[23] Millar's performance on the stage was good enough to bring him to second place overall.[5] Stephen Roche sealed his victory of the Giro d'Italia by winning the final stage of the race, a 32 km (19.9 mi) individual time trial.[13] Roche beat out the second place finisher, Dietrich Thurau, by fourteen seconds to win the day and ultimately the Giro itself.[1]

Success in the stages was limited to seven of the twenty competing squads, five of the which won multiple stages, while four riders achieved multiple stage victories. The riders that won more than one stage were Moreno Argentin in stages 2,[27] 4,[28] and 7,[29] Roberto Visentini in the prologue[11] and stage 13,[8] Paolo Rosola in stages 8,[30] 10, and 20,[31] and Stephen Roche stages 1b[16] and 22.[1] Gewiss-Bianchi collected a total of six stage wins through two riders, Argentin and Rosola. Gewiss-Bianchi wasn't the only team to win six stages, as Carrera Jeans-Vagabond achieved the same feat, with two stage wins from Roche and Visentini, Guido Bontempi in stage 12,[32] and stage 3 which was the team time trial.[7] Panasonic-Isostar amassed a total of three stage victories, with Erik Breukink in stage 1a,[16] Eddy Planckaert in stage 5,[18] and Robert Millar in stage 21.[33] Atala – Ofmega also acquired three stage wins, with Urs Freuler in stage 9,[34] Marco Vitali in stage 17,[24] and Giuseppe Calcaterra in stage 18.[25] Gis Gelati – Jollyscarpe won two stages with Johan van der Velde in stages 15[9] and 16.[22] Fagor – MBK also collected two stage victories with Jean-Claude Bagot in stage 6[35] and Robert Forest in stage 11.[36]

Toshiba-Look and Remac – Fanini both won a single stage at the Giro. Remac – Fanini's Paolo Cimini won stage 14[37] by means of a bunch sprint, while Toshiba-Look rider Jean-François Bernard took stage 19[26] through a solo attack in the mountains.

Classification leadership [edit]

In the 1987 Giro d'Italia, four different jerseys were awarded. For the general classification, calculated by adding each cyclist's finishing times on each stage, and allowing time bonuses for the first three finishers on mass-start stages, the leader received a pink jersey. This classification was considered the most important of the Giro d'Italia, and the winner was considered the winner of the Giro.[38]

Coppi Statue on the Pordoi

Additionally, there was a points classification, which awarded a purple, or cyclamen jersey. In the points classification, cyclists got points for finishing in the top 15 in a stage. In addition, points could be won in intermediate sprints.[38]

There was also a mountains classification, the leadership of which was marked by a green jersey. In the mountains classifications, points were won by reaching the top of a climb before other cyclists. Each climb was categorized as either first, second, or third category, with more points available for the higher-categorized climbs. The Cima Coppi, the race's highest point of elevation, awarded still 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 Fagor – MBK's Jean-Claude Bagot.[23][38]

The fourth jersey represented the young rider classification, marked by a white jersey. This was decided the same way as the general classification, but only neo-professional cyclists - those in their first professional year - were eligible.[3][38]

There was also one classification for the teams. The classification was the Trofeo Fast Team. In this classification, the times of the best three cyclists per team on each stage were added; the leading team was the team with the lowest total time.[38]

The rows in the following table correspond to the jerseys awarded after that stage was run.
