The 1994 Giro d'Italia was the 77th edition of the race. The Giro started off in Bologna on 22 May with a short {{convert|86|km|1|abbr=on}} stage. The race came to a close on 12 June with a flat stage that stretched {{convert|198|km|1|abbr=on}} from Turin to Milan. Seventeen teams entered the race, which was won by Evgeni Berzin of the {{UCI team code|GEW|1994}} team. Second and third respectively were the Italian Marco Pantani and the Spanish rider, Miguel Induráin.
Berzin first gained the race lead after the fourth stage where he attacked on the final climb to win the day. The race's overall classification was first headed by Endrio Leoni who won the Giro's opening road stage. However, Leoni lost the lead later that day during the afternoon individual time trial to Armand de Las Cuevas. De Las Cuevas held the lead for a single stage before losing it to Moreno Argentin who won the race's second stage. Argentin held the general classification lead for two stages, before Berzin took it after stage 4. After gaining the lead, Berzin began to build upon his advantage after winning the stage 8 and 18 individual time trials and maintaining good form throughout the mountains.
Berzin became the first Russian to win the Giro d'Italia. Berzin also won the young rider classification for the best rider aged 25 or under in the general classification. In the race's other classifications, Swiss rider Pascal Richard won the mountains classification, and Djamolidine Abdoujaparov of {{UCI team code|POL|1994}} was the winner of the points and intergiro classifications. {{UCI team code|CAR|1994}} finished as the winners of the team classification, which ranked each of the seventeen teams contesting the race by lowest cumulative time. {{UCI team code|POL|1994}} finished as the winners of the team points classification, where the teams' riders are awarded points for placing within the top twenty in each stage.

Pre-race favorites
The starting peloton included 1993 winner, Miguel Induráin, who came into the race having only raced twenty days during the season according to author Bill McGann. In addition, there were reports surfacing before the race that Indurain's knee was troubling him.{{cite news|url=http://elpais.com/diario/1994/05/22/deportes/769557615_850215.html|title=Induráin contra el imperio italiano|newspaper= El País|author=Carlos Arribas|trans-title=Indurain against the Italian empire|language=es|date=22 May 1994|access-date=27 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150506170508/http://elpais.com/diario/1994/05/22/deportes/769557615_850215.html|archive-date=6 May 2015|url-status=live}} The race did not feature Tony Rominger, who elected to ride the Vuelta a España instead. El País writer Carlos Arribas felt that Evgeni Berzin had a strong spring with his victory in Liège–Bastogne–Liège and second-place finish in the Tour of the Basque Country. Arribas felt that Russian Pavel Tonkov, who had won the young rider classification the previous two years, would challenge for the victory as his normal team leader, Maurizio Fondriest, was absent from the race due to injury.{{cite news|url=http://doc.rero.ch/record/112258/files/1994-05-20.pdf|title=«Une dizaine de favoris!|trans-title=A dozen favorites!|language=fr|work=L'Impartial|date=20 May 1994|page=17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191027081124/http://doc.rero.ch/record/112258/files/1994-05-20.pdf|archive-date=27 October 2019|via=RERO}}{{cite news|url=http://doc.rero.ch/record/199408/files/1994-05-21.pdf|title=«Miguel, Claudio et les autres|trans-title=Miguel, Claudio et the Others|language=fr|work=Nouvelliste et Feuille d'Avis du Valais|date=20 May 1994|page=26|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191027081207/http://doc.rero.ch/record/199408/files/1994-05-21.pdf|archive-date=27 October 2019|via=RERO}}

Classification leadership

Five different jerseys were worn during the 1994 Giro d'Italia. The leader of the general classification – calculated by adding the stage finish times of each rider, and allowing time bonuses for the first three finishers on mass-start stages – wore a pink jersey. The time bonuses for the 1994 Giro were twelve seconds for first, eight for second, and four seconds for third. 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 |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 }}
For the points classification, which awarded a purple (or cyclamen) jersey to its leader, cyclists were given points for finishing a stage in the top 15; additional points could also be won in intermediate sprints. The green jersey was awarded to the mountains classification leader. In this ranking, points were won by reaching the summit of a climb ahead of other cyclists. Each climb was ranked as either first, second or third category, with more points available for higher category climbs. The Cima Coppi, the race's highest point of elevation, awarded more points than the other first category climbs. The Cima Coppi for this Giro was the Stelvio Pass. The first rider to cross the Stelvio was Italian Franco Vona. The white jersey was worn by the leader of young rider classification, a ranking decided the same way as the general classification, but only riders born after 1 January 1970 were eligible for it.{{cite news|url=https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1994/06/13/page_039.pdf |title=Le rose di Eugeni Berzin |language=it |date=13 June 1994 |page=23 |newspaper=l'Unità |access-date=27 May 2012 |format=PDF |trans-title=Evgeni Berzin's Pink |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200518171813/https://archivio.unita.news/assets/main/1994/06/13/page_039.pdf |url-status=live |archive-date=18 May 2020 }} The intergiro classification was marked by a blue jersey. The calculation for the intergiro is similar to that of the general classification, in each stage there is a midway point that the riders pass through a point and where their time is stopped. As the race goes on, their times compiled and the person with the lowest time is the leader of the intergiro classification and wears the blue jersey. The first three riders to cross the intergiro line in each stage would receive a six, four, and two second time bonus, respectively. 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.
The rows in the following table correspond to the jerseys awarded after that stage was run.
