Overview

The 2018 Giro d'Italia Internazionale Femminile, also known as the the Giro Rosa, marks the 14th round of the Women's WorldTour and will take place from July 6-15. The 10-day race is widely considered the only 'grand tour' on the women's circuit. 

The race is one of the most challenging, too, because of its length but also because it typically includes unpredictable, mountainous terrain.

This year, the race returns to the iconic Monte Zoncolan, on the penultimate stage 9, which hasn't been used in the women's race in over 20 years. The daunting 11.9-kilometre ascent, with slopes as steep as 22 per cent, could decide the overall winner.

Last year, Anna van der Breggen (Boels-Dolmans) won her second overall title ahead of Elisa Longo Borghini (Wiggle High5) and Annemiek van Vleuten (Orica Scott).

Past overall winners of the Giro Rosa are Anna van der Breggen (twice), Megan Guarnier, Mara Abbott (twice), Marianne Vos (three times) and Fabiana Luperini (five times).
