Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) has told Cyclingnews that she is undecided on whether to compete in this year’s Giro d’Italia Donne held from July 2-11 across northern, Italy. The former two-time winner praised the new organisers, Pulse Media Group (PMG Sport), for their efforts in a much-needed revamp of the event and it's aim to return to the Women's WorldTour in 2022.

"I’m undecided, and this news also makes it more interesting for me, but I’m still undecided," Van Vleuten told Cyclingnews at the time PMG Sports launched the event’s new website and marketing details in May.
