The race route was revealed on 13 April 1960.[13][14][15][16] The start of the race was moved to Rome to honor the Summer Olympics to be held in the city later that year.[17] Before the race began in Rome, the organizers honored the race's first organizer Armando Cougnet [it], five-time Giro champion Fausto Coppi, and journalist Orio Vergani [it], all of whom died before the race started in 1960.[17] President Giovanni Gronchi officially opened the race.[17]

Classification leadership

[edit]

One jersey was worn during the 1960 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.[19]

The mountains classification leader. The climbs were ranked in first and second categories. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. There were three categories of mountains. The first category awarded 80, 60, 40, 30, and 20 points,[20] while the second distributed 60, 40, and 20 points.[21] Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the teams were awarded points for their rider's performance during the stages.[22]
