The 101st Giro d'Italia took place from May 4th to 27th, 2018 . The road bike race started with an individual time trial in Jerusalem . Before the race reached Italy , two more stages took place in Israel . The tour ended in Rome . The Grand Tour - stage race is part of the UCI World Tour 2018 .
Overall winner of the race was the four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome , who also won the mountain classification . His lead was 46 seconds ahead of last year's winner Tom Dumoulin and 4:57 minutes ahead of the winner of the youth championship , Miguel Ángel López . Froome took over the overall leader's Maglia Rosa on the 19th stage through a solo escape over 80 kilometers after an attack on Colle delle Finestre . He took over the top position from three-time stage winner Simon Yates , who had held the overall standings since the 6th stage with the mountain finish on Etna , but broke in on the 19th stage and lost 39 minutes to the day's winner Froome.
Elia Viviani won four stages in the sprint and thus the points classification ahead of the three-time sprint winner Sam Bennett .
The team competition was won by Froomes Team Sky . The teams Quick-Step Floors (four times Viviani and one Maximilian Schachmann ) and Mitchelton-Scott (three times Yates and one each Esteban Chaves and Mikel Nieve ) achieved the most stage wins .
The intermediate sprint Traguardi Volanti and Evaluation Kämpferischster driver ( Combattività ) won Davide Ballerini , the outlier rating Premio Fuga Marco Frapporti and the Fair Play rankings, the Blanco Pro Cycling Team .
Start in Israel
The start in Israel, from which the host country hoped to promote tourism in the country in particular, cost over 27 million euros , also because of the necessary security measures as a result of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict . Some of the costs were covered by real estate billionaire Sylvan Adams , one of the financiers of the Israel Cycling Academy cycling team .
In the meantime, the start of the event in Israel was in jeopardy, as the organizer RCS Sport designated the location of the first stage in official documents as West Jerusalem and the Israeli government, which assumes an inseparable Jerusalem, threatened to withdraw its support. The information was then changed in Jerusalem . Pro-Palestine activists criticized this as taking sides with the Israeli position on the Jerusalem issue.
The first stage in Jerusalem was dedicated to Gino Bartali . On the occasion of the event, the Giro d'Italia winner of 1936 , 1937 and 1946 , who died in 2000 and was honored as Righteous Among the Nations for his commitment to persecuted Jews during Italian fascism , was posthumously granted Israeli citizenship. 15 participants of the tour took part in a commemorative trip to the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial .
Attendees
The 18 UCI WorldTeams were entitled and obliged to start . The UAE Team Emirates and Bahrain-Merida teams, licensed under Arab nationality , also started . In addition, the organizer invited four UCI Professional Continental teams , including the three Italian teams Androni Giocattoli-Sidermec , Bardiani CSF , Wilier Triestina-Selle Italia and Israel Cycling Academy , which was the first Israeli team to take part in a Grand Tour . The squad were with Guy Niv and Guy Sagiv the first two Israeli cyclist involved in a Grand Tour to participate.
The 22 teams consisted of eight drivers each, with the exception of the Bahrain-Merida team , whose driver Kanstantin Siutsou had a hard crash on a route inspection before the first stage and was unable to start. So a total of 175 drivers started.
In addition to last year's winner Tom Dumoulin ( Team Sunweb ), the four-time Tour de France winner Chris Froome ( Team Sky ) and the winner of the Vuelta a España 2015 , Fabio Aru ( UAE Team Emirates ), who started the race before the 19th stage gave up. Froome's start was controversial because an ongoing doping procedure was ongoing against him due to exceeding the salbutamol limit in the 2017 Vuelta a España, which he won .

Regulations
The leader of the overall standings wore the Maglia Rosa . As always in international stage races, the overall ranking was determined by adding up the times driven. In addition, there were 10, 6 and 4 seconds time bonuses in the stages - apart from the time trial stages - and 3, 2 and 1 second in the second intermediate sprint of a stage.
For drivers born after January 1, 1993, the junior ranking was awarded on this basis, the leader of which was awarded the Maglia Bianca .
The leader of the points classification wore the Maglia Ciclamino . For this evaluation, between 50 and 1 point were awarded for the first 15 riders for flat stages, between 25 and 1 point for the first 10 for medium-difficult stages and between 15 and 1 point for the first 10 riders for mountain stages and time trials. In intermediate sprints, between 20 and 1 point were awarded for the first 8 riders on flat stages, between 10 and 1 point for the first 5 riders on medium-difficulty stages and between 8 and 1 point for the first 3 riders on mountain stages.
The leader in the mountain classification wore the Maglia Azzurra . Points were awarded as follows: on the Cima Coppi Colle delle Finestre between 45 and 1 point for the first 9, on mountains of the 1st category between 35 and 1 point for the first 8, on mountains of the second category between 15 and 1 for the first 6, with climbs in the third category between 7 and 1 point for the first 4 and with climbs in the fourth category between 3 and 1 points for the first 3 riders. When reaching the mountains, between 15 and 2 points are awarded for the first five drivers
The team ranking was the result of adding up the times of day of the three best drivers in the team.
There were also the following special prices:
- Intermediate sprint evaluation ( Traguardi Volanti ): On every stage (except time trial) the first five drivers received 10, 6, 3, 2 and one point in the intermediate sprints.
- Outlier classification ( Premio Fuga ): The winner was the driver who was active in breakaway groups the longest (in a group of a maximum of ten drivers) in the entire race.
- Most combative driver ( Combattività ): At the finish, the intermediate sprints and every mountain classification, points were awarded for this classification. The number of counters did not correspond to the points otherwise awarded there.
- Fair play rating : The basis for this team rating was a points system in which the aim was to collect as few points as possible. For example, a fine was converted into one penalty point for every 10 Swiss francs, time penalties resulted in two points per second, a downgrading 100 points and a positive doping test 2,000 points.
The overall winner received € 265,668, the second € 128,000 and the third € 68,000 (each from two pots of prize money). A stage win brought in 11,010 euros, a day in the Maglia Rosa 1000 euros. The victory in the points classification was rewarded with 10,000 euros, the mountain classification with 5,000. In the team rankings, the respective winners received 5,000 euros each. The total amount of the premiums was around 1,500,000 euros
