Part 25 - One "Corrieri" between Turin and Monza

(In Italy in 1949 it is Sunday, June 12th - there is no "Corriere della Serra" today.)
　
Part 25 - Stage Recap and Results - One "Corrieri" Between Turin and Monza

The final stage of this exciting Giro d'Italia departs Turin at eight o'clock, the sixty-five survivors riding easily for the first sixty kilometers, until the sprint into Novara which is won by Bevilacqua from Maggini, Logli and Corrieri.
　
Climbing towards Varese and Como, and hampered by a strong wind, Leoni, not in good physical condition, suffer the pains of hell, and the entire Legnano team stays with him. A nasty fall disturb the good mood in the main group, the victims include Conte, De Fazio and De Santi.
　
The climb of Ghisallo is not as casual. At the top Bartali takes the prize ahead of Pasotti and Martini. Then the long march to Monza, with a "parade" lap of six and a half kilometers around the autodrome. The Belgian Jomaux launches the sprint perfectly for his teammate Corrieri, who takes over at the front and holds off a fast-closing Mario Ricci, Fausto Coppi, Tonini, and Brasola. Then the large crowds surge forward to embrace Coppi, Bartali and all the others, including the taciturn but friendly winner of the maglia nera (black jersey), Carollo.
