Pre-race favorites

The starting peloton did feature the previous year's winner Felice Gimondi (Salvarani). Despite an initial unwillingness to participate relating to his expulsion the year before, Eddy Merckx chose to enter the race after the race organizers agreed to send all doping controls to Rome rather than conduct them in a van that moved with the race.{{sfn|Fotheringham|2013|p=141}} Merckx entered as the primary favorite to win the race.{{cite news |url=https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_008.pdf|title=Hanno firmato i loro pronostici|language=it |date=15 May 1970 |page=8 |newspaper=l'Unità |publisher=PCI |access-date=22 June 2018|trans-title=They have signed their predictions |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010055938/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_008.pdf|archive-date=10 October 2019 |url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_010.pdf|title=<>|language=it |date=15 May 1970 |page=10 |newspaper=l'Unità |publisher=PCI |access-date=22 June 2018|trans-title=<< Gimondi and the first point, we will play all our cards >> |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010060151/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_010.pdf|archive-date=10 October 2019 |url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_011.pdf|title=Dancelli capitano di una vivace brillante pattuglia|language=it |date=15 May 1970 |page=11 |newspaper=l'Unità |publisher=PCI |access-date=22 June 2018|trans-title= Dancelli, captain of a lively bright patrol|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010060316/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_011.pdf|archive-date=10 October 2019 |url-status=live}}{{cite news |url=https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_012.pdf|title=Gosta Pettersson e Simonetti sono gli uomini da classifica|language=it |date=15 May 1970 |page=12 |newspaper=l'Unità |publisher=PCI |access-date=22 June 2018|trans-title=Gosta Pettersson e Simonetti sono gli uomini da classifica|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010060427/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_012.pdf|archive-date=10 October 2019 |url-status=live}}{{cite news|url=http://doc.rero.ch/record/133467/files/1970-05-16.pdf|title=53e Tour d'Italie: Le depart sera donne lundi |trans-title=53rd Tour of Italy: The start will be given on Monday|language=fr|newspaper=Le Confédéré|date=16 May 1970|page=5|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200531044317/http://doc.rero.ch/record/133467/files/1970-05-16.pdf|archive-date=31 May 2020|via=RERO}} He entered the race having already won several races that season including: Paris–Nice, Paris–Roubaix, and La Flèche Wallonne, among others. Le Confédéré felt that Merckx's greatest challenge would come not from Italian riders, but the Belgian Walter Godefroot (Salvarani). Godefroot was thought to be the leader for the Salvarani team as Gimondi entered the race in poor form. Gianni Motta was absent from the race as he was recovering from a knee operation earlier in the season.

Route and stages

The route was revealed on 31 March 1970 by race director Vincenzo Torriani.{{cite news |url=https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/04/01/page_011.pdf|title=Questo il <>|language=it |date=1 April 1970 |page=11 |newspaper=l'Unità |publisher=PCI |access-date=22 June 2018|author=Gino Sala|trans-title=This is the <> |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190428213418/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/04/01/page_011.pdf|archive-date=28 April 2019 }} The race covered {{convert|3311|km|0|abbr=on}} across twenty stages and one rest day. Compared to the previous edition, the 1970 edition was shorter and included only four stages longer than {{convert|200|km|0|abbr=on}} with stage 14 being the longest at {{convert|218|km|0|abbr=on}}. In April, the route was announced to have nineteen categorized climbs that awarded points towards the mountains classification,{{cite news |url=https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/04/01/page_011.pdf|title=Le Montagne|language=it |date=1 April 1970 |page=11 |newspaper=l'Unità |publisher=PCI |access-date=22 June 2018|trans-title=The Mountains|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190428213418/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/04/01/page_011.pdf|archive-date=28 April 2019 }} while the final route included seven more categorized climbs.{{cite news |url=https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_009.pdf|title=Sono ventisei le montagne|language=it |date=15 May 1970 |page=7 |newspaper=l'Unità |publisher=PCI |access-date=22 June 2018|trans-title=There are twenty-six mountains |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191010055050/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1970/05/15/page_009.pdf|archive-date=10 October 2019 |url-status=live}} In total, {{convert|25.6|km|0|abbr=on}} were climbed.

San Pellegrino Terme hosted the race's start and then it travelled west, visiting the Alps before turning south and then east towards Treviso. A transfer then occurred to Terracina and the race moved north along the coast. The race made its way to the Dolomites for three stages before finishing in Bolzano. The route did not visit Milan for the first time in race history.

The route featured less transition stages than in previous years, which was thought to allow for more action in the race.

Classification leadership

Two different jerseys were worn during the 1970 Giro d'Italia. The leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider – wore a pink jersey. This classification is the most important of the race, and its winner is considered as the winner of the Giro.{{cite web|author=Laura Weislo |url=http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/giro08/?id=/features/2008/giro_classifications08 |title=Giro d'Italia classifications demystified |date=13 May 2008 |work=Cycling News |publisher=Future Publishing Limited |access-date=13 July 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130508234448/http://autobus.cyclingnews.com/road/2008/giro08/?id=/features/2008/giro_classifications08 |archive-date=8 May 2013 |url-status=live }}

In addition there was the Cima Coppi, the Passo Pordoi, which was the highest mountain crossed in this edition of the race, which gave 200, 100, 80, 70, and 50 points to the first five riders summit the climb.{{cite news|url=http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1970/06/08/MD19700608-030.pdf|title=Merckx Rubrico Su Previsto Triunfo |language=es |date=8 June 1970 |page=30 |publisher=El Mundo Deportivo |access-date=27 May 2012 |trans-title=Merckx Rubric Your Intended Triumph |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190125130915/http://hemeroteca-paginas.mundodeportivo.com/EMD01/HEM/1970/06/08/MD19700608-030.pdf |archive-date=25 January 2019|url-status=live }} The first rider over the Passo Pordoi was Luciano Armani. Although no jersey was awarded, there was also one classification for the teams, in which the stage finish times of the best three cyclists per team were added; the leading team was the one with the lowest total time.
