apparently neither did whoever researched the story.
There's some reference to Heiden winning the InterGiro competition (not the points
classification) but I can't find anything on the intergiro prior to 1989
Nor can I. I did verify that Eric's only Giro entry was 1985 (the memorie site includes all Tour and Giro placings including DNF). I found several sites that report the intergiro was created in 1989. Memorie did not have anything other than his 131st finish for Erick in the Giro.
But I did find one link saying he won in 1985.
