1954 Giro d’Italia Race Route Map
.
The off-season Giro planning progressed slowly. In February the committee announced the first fourteen stages. Speculation that Rome “would not be included” were dashed when Rome was included on stage 7 (finish) and 8 (departure). The rest of the route was revealed in May just weeks before the Giro’s start. The race schedule included an Individual Time Trial and one Team Time Trial. Criticism of the TTT came quickly. The original stage schedule for the Team Time Trial was midway through the race and teams may be down riders through attrition. To deal with the disapproval the Team Time Trial stage was moved to stage 1.
