the following year's race was the last giro to be run with a points system. the race saw the first appearance of costante girardengo, who won the sixth stage, and would come to dominate the giro in the future. carlo oriani — who had just gotten out of serving the italian military in the italo-turkish war — won the event by six points over the second-place finisher, eberardo pavesi. the 1914 giro d'italia saw the calculation of the general classification shift from a points system to a time based system. in the new system, every rider's finishing time for each stage is totaled together and the rider with the lowest total time is the overall leader. out of the eighty-one riders entered the race only eight of them finished. the grueling race was won by alfonso calzolari, who won by almost two hours over the second-place finisher. a giro was planned for 1915, but the plans were scrapped when italy entered world war i.
