Plato's Apology

1928 Giro Quick Facts:

3,044 km raced at an average speed of 26.75 km/hr

298 starters and 126 classified finishers. This remains the largest starting field in Giro history.

Two riders divided up eleven of the twelve stages. Winner Alfredo Binda won six and Domenico Piemontesi took five. Alfredo Binda's brother Albino won the remaining stage.

Piemontesi was leading until the fourth stage, where he lost over thirteen minutes, handing the lead to Binda, who never gave it up.

The huge field probably caused reports to list only last names. Because of this, the first names of some riders are lost.

Plato's Apology is available as an audiobook here.
