Введение
Джиро д’Италия 2003 года – 86-е издание Джиро д’Италия, одной из главных многодневных велогонок. Гонка началась в Лекче с этапа с массовым стартом. Завершилась гонка индивидуальной гонкой на время, которая началась и закончилась в итальянском городе Милан. В гонке приняли участие девятнадцать команд, победителем которой стал итальянец Гилберто Симони из команды. Каждая команда заявила на старт девять гонщиков (только Kelme–Costa Blanca – восемь), поэтому Джиро началась с пелотона из 170 велосипедистов. В гонке было два хронометражных этапа, оба индивидуальных. Организаторы разделили оставшиеся восемнадцать этапов на три категории: равнинные, холмистые и горные. Двенадцать этапов были признаны равнинными. Из семи оставшихся этапов три были обозначены как холмистые, а три – как горные. На этапах с категорийными подъемами шесть имели финиш на вершине: этап 3 – к Терме Луиджиане; этап 7 – к Монте Терминилло; этап 12 – к Монте Зонколан; этап 14 – к Альпе ди Пампеаго; этап 18 – к Чианале; и этап 19 – к Каскате-дель-Точе. Организаторы предусмотрели два дня отдыха. По сравнению с гонкой прошлого года, эта гонка была длиннее, содержала такое же количество дней отдыха и на один индивидуальный хронометраж меньше. Кроме того, в этой гонке не было вводного пролога, как в предыдущем году.
The 2003 Giro d'Italia was the 86th edition of the Giro d'Italia, one of cycling's Grand Tours. The Giro began in Lecce with a mass start stage. The race came to a close with a individual time trial that began and ended in the Italian city of Milan. Nineteen teams entered the race that was won by the Italian Gilberto Simoni of the team. Each team sent a squad of nine riders (only Kelme–Costa Blanca started eight), so the Giro began with a peloton of 170 cyclists. It contained two time trial events, all of which were individual. The organizers divided the remaining eighteen stages into three categories: flat stages, rolling stages, and mountain stages. Twelve of the stages were declared flat stages. Of the seven stages remaining, three stages were designated rolling stages and three were ranked as mountain stages. In the stages containing categorized climbs, six had summit finishes: stage 3, to Terme Luigiane; stage 7, to Monte Terminillo; stage 12, to Monte Zoncolan; stage 14, to Alpe di Pampeago; stage 18, to Chianale; and stage 19, to Cascata del Toce. The organizers chose to include two rest days. When compared to the previous year's race, the race was longer, contained the same amount of rest days, and one less individual time trial. In addition, this race lacked an opening prologue like the previous year had. + Stage characteristics and winnersStageDateCourseDistanceTypeWinner1 10 May Lecce to Lecce Flat stage 2 11 May Copertino to Matera Flat stage 3 12 May Policoro to Terme Luigiane Medium mountain stage 4 13 May Terme Luigiane to Vibo Valentia Medium mountain stage 5 14 May Messina to Catania Medium mountain stage 15 May Rest day6 16 May Maddaloni to Avezzano Medium mountain stage 7 17 May Avezzano to Monte Terminillo Mountain stage 8 18 May Rieti to Arezzo Flat stage 9 19 May Arezzo to Montecatini Terme Flat stage 10 20 May Montecatini Terme to Faenza Medium mountain stage 11 21 May Faenza to San Donà di Piave Flat stage 12 22 May San Donà di Piave to Monte Zoncolan Mountain stage 13 23 May Pordenone to Marostica Flat stage 14 24 May Marostica to Alpe di Pampeago Mountain stage 15 25 May Merano to Bolzano Individual time trial 16 26 May Arco to Pavia Flat stage 27 May Rest day17 28 May Salice Terme to Asti Flat stage 18 29 May Sanuario di Vicoforte to Chianale Mountain stage 19 30 May Canelli to Cascata del Toce Mountain stage 20 31 May Cannobio to Cantù Flat stage 21 1 June Milan to Milan Individual time trial Total

Незначительные классификации
Другие менее известные классификации, лидеры которых не получали специальную майку, также присуждались на Джиро. Среди других наград была классификация боевого духа, которая формировалась из очков, набранных за позиции на промежуточных спринтах, горных вершинах и финишах этапов. Колумбиец Фреди Гонсалес выиграл классификацию самого боевого гонщика. Классификация Azzurri d'Italia основывалась на порядке финиша, но очки начислялись только тройке лидеров на каждом этапе. Гилберто Симони стал победителем в классификации Azzurri d'Italia. В классификации Trofeo Fuga Piaggio награждались гонщики, участвовавшие в отрыве во главе пелотона, при этом каждый участник отрыва в десять и менее гонщиков получал одно очко за каждый километр, который группа удерживала преимущество. Константино Забалла выиграл эту классификацию. Командам начислялись штрафные очки за незначительные технические нарушения. Наибольший успех в избежании штрафов показала команда, которая не была оштрафована ни разу за гонку, и поэтому выиграла классификацию Fair Play.
Other less well known classifications, whose leaders did not receive a special jersey, were awarded during the Giro. Other awards included the Combativity classification, which was a compilation of points gained for position on crossing intermediate sprints, mountain passes and stage finishes. Colombian Fredy González won the Most Combative classification. The Azzurri d'Italia classification was based on finishing order, but points were awarded only to the top three finishers in each stage. The Azzurri d'Italia classification was won by Gilberto Simoni. The Trofeo Fuga Piaggio classification rewarded riders who took part in a breakaway at the head of the field, each rider in an escape of ten or fewer riders getting one point for each kilometre that the group stayed clear. The classification was won by Constantino Zaballa. Teams were given penalty points for minor technical infringements. was the most successful in avoiding penalties after not being penalized during the race, and so won the Fair Play classification.
