Giro d'Italia records and statistics

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Pink jersey statistics)

Since the first Giro d'Italia in 1909 and as of 2025, there have been 2,116 stages. This number includes half-stages, prologues, and a small number of stages cancelled mid-race or immediately before the start. Since 1931, the race leader following each stage has been awarded the pink jersey (Italian: Maglia rosa).

Although the leader of the classification after each stage gets a pink jersey, he is not considered the winner of the pink jersey, only the wearer. Only after the final stage is complete, the wearer of the pink jersey is considered the winner of the pink jersey, and thereby the winner of the Giro d'Italia. In 2020, British rider Tao Geoghegan Hart became the first cyclist to win the overall pink jersey, having never worn it during the race itself.[1]

In this article first-place-classifications before 1931 are also counted as if a pink jersey was awarded. Nonetheless, the number of pink jerseys awarded is not equal to the number of stages. In the 1912 Giro d'Italia, the race was contested by teams, so no individual cyclist is counted in this statistic. Sometimes more cyclists were leading the classification (1925 after stages 2 and 3, 1936 after stage 6). On the other hand, jerseys were not awarded in between any of the 51 pairs of half-stages that took place during the history of the Giro. Thus, as of 2025, 2,040 pink jerseys have been awarded in the Giro d'Italia to 283 different riders.

Cyclists who are still active

In previous Giri d'Italia, sometimes a stage was split in two. On such occasions, only the cyclist leading at the end of the day is counted. The "Maglia Rosa" column gives the number of days that the cyclist wore the pink jersey as the leader of the classification[a], the "Giro wins" column gives the number of days that the cyclist won the pink jersey. The next four columns indicate the number of times the rider won the points classification, the King of the Mountains classification, and the young rider competition, and the years in which the pink jersey was worn, with bold years indicating an overall Giro win. For example: Eddy Merckx has spent 76 days as leader of the race, won the general classification five times; won the points classification two times, won the mountains classification one time, and never won the young rider classification. He wore the pink jersey in the 1968, 1970, 1972, 1973, and 1974 editions of the race (which he all won) as well as 1969 (which he did not win).

After Alberto Contador was stripped from his victory in the 2011 Giro d'Italia, Michele Scarponi became the new winner.

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^ There were prologues for three Giro editions that did not count towards the general classification, but were used to determine what rider would wear the race leader's maglia rosa on the first stage of the race.
    The winners of these prologues therefore wore the leader's jersey for one more day, but were not the leaders of the general classification:
    The prologue for the 1978 Giro not only did not count towards GC, but also did not award its winner Dietrich Thurau any distinctive jersey.[9]
  2. ^ Danilo Di Luca wore the pink jersey for seven additional days in 2009, when he also won the points classification; these results have been stripped, and are not included in this table.

Per country

[edit]

The pink jersey has been awarded to 28 different countries since 1903. In the table below, "Jerseys" indicates the number of pink jerseys that were given to cyclists of each country. "Giro wins" stands for the number of Giro wins by cyclists of that country, "Points" for the number of times the points classification was won by a cyclist of that country, "KoM" for the number of times the mountains classification was won by a cyclist of that country, and "White" for the number of times the young rider classification was won by a cyclist of that country. The "Most recent" column shows the cyclist of the country that lead the general classification most recently. The "Different holders" column gives the number of different cyclists of the country that lead the general classification.
