The
1999 Giro d'Italia of
cycling, the 82nd edition of the race, was held from
15 May to
6 June
1999. It covered 3,757 km (2,334 miles) in 22
stages.
It
was won by the Italian
Ivan Gotti.
Defending
champion Marco Pantani, leading the
general classification in Madonna di Campiglio
(20th stage), was disqualified for an excessive
hematocrit level before stage 21.
The entire Mercatone Uno-Bianchi (Pantani's team) withdrew from the
Giro. This left the race open for Gotti to capture the
overall title and wear the final
maglia rosa.
Laurent Jalabert won the maglia ciclamino as the points
champion, while Colombian
Chepe González
donned the maglia verde as the
King of the
Mountains.
