The 1998 Giro was the 81st edition of the Giro, one of cycling’s Grand Tours. The Giro began on May 16 with a brief 8 km (5 mi) prologue that navigated through the streets of the French city Nice. The race came to a close on June 7 with a mass-start stage that ended in the Italian city of Milan. Eighteen teams entered the race that was won by the Italian Marco Pantani of the Mercatone Uno–Bianchi team. Second and third were the Russian rider Pavel Tonkov and Italian Giuseppe Guerini. In the race’s other classifications, overall winner Marco Pantani also won the mountains classification, Mariano Piccoli of the Brescialat-Liquigas team won the points classification, and Saeco Macchine per Caffè rider Gian Matteo Fagnini won the intergiro classification. Mapei–Bricobi finished as the winners of the Trofeo Fast Team classification, ranking each of the eighteen teams contesting the race by lowest cumulative time. The other team classification, the Trofeo Super Team classification, where the teams’ riders are awarded points for placing within the top twenty in each stage and the points are then totaled for each team was won by Team Polti. #Cycling, #Sports, #doping 0:00–0:18 Intro 0:18–0:49 Prologue Zulle 0:49–1:10 Stage 1 Piccoli 1:10–1:54 Stage 2 Edo 1:54–2:17 Stage 3 Minali 2:17–3:00 Stage 4 Miceli 3:00–3:28 Stage 5 Cipollini 3:28–4:23 Stage 6 Zulle 4:23–4:41 Stage 7 Cipollini 4:41–4:59 Stage 8 Cipollini 4:59–5:15 Stage 9 Magnusson 5:15–5:29 Stage 10 Cipollini 5:29–6:10 Stage 11 Noe 6:10–6:44 Stage 12 Roux 6:44–7:42 Stage 13 Bartoli 7:42–9:02 Stage 14 Pantani Piancavallo 9:02–10:16 Stage 15 Zulle ITT Trieste 10:16–11:00 Stage 16 Fontanelli 11:00–13:56 Stage 17 Guerini and Pantani Selva 13:56–15:54 Stage 18 Tonkov Alpe di Pampeago 15:54–18:34 Stage 19 Pantani Montecampione 18:34–19:10 Stage 20 Fagnini 19:10–22:23 Stage 21 Honchar Pantani ITT Lugano 22:23–23:29 Stage 22 Fagnini, Podium
