		Binda's tally is the highest (12 in 1927), with Guerra and Olmo snagging 10 Tour of Italy stage wins in 1934 and 1936 respectively.
		Binda, Guerra, Olmo and Girardengo -- all champions of their day -- are nonetheless relegated to a different era of bike racing, one of bombastic, steel-tanker bikes and a nomad style of racing that had little in common with today's modern sport.
		Don't get us wrong: Cycling was still cycling back in the day, but the rules, roads and the riders were of a different ilk.

		Since it’s bloody unreal to overcome an 8 minute deficit, you have to look all the way back to 1958 to find a precedent.

		In the spring of 1950 Hugo came here with Learco Guerra to contract me to ride the Giro 'd Italia and support him.
		I think the Gazzetta Dello Sport funded the team under the table and they used Guerra as the team/outlet.
		He couldn't ride forceps or Bartali for he was as strong as them, so I suspect Gazzetta funded Guerra in order to bring a spoiler into the race.
