That is quite a name. And it is quite a race, no rest days, ten days of racing in Italy. This must be the biggest race in the Women’s World Tour and if it is anything like the men’s race is should be great. Let’s hope there is some decent TV coverage. The start list is here. The route map must be classified, sorry. Imagine a course in Northern Italy: mountains, valleys, plains. Anna van der Breggen won it last year but she will have to contend with Lizzy Armitstead in this edition. The Mortirolo is here, time trials, sprints, with ten days of racing, the winner should have mad all around skills
Everyone knows the drill. This race starts on a Friday so mind the countdown banner. These are good points people, so consider your choices, do your research, then select you know who.

"The lack of information coming from the Giro Rosa has been quite substantial, but today has been even worse than the stages before. We can therefore not tell you very much about what happened during the stage."

This is disappointing. And the women are putting on a heck of a race.

Thanks for the updates! Top ten is very close thus far. The ladies are riding tough.
Another (apparently) exciting stage, if there were any coverage of it. Sounds like Mara Abbott just KILLED it over the Mortirolo.

Quote from Emma Pooley "just glad I wasn't really shit on the climb". Brilliant! Thank you Andrew for this
On this site, where we spend
an inordinate amounta lot of time admiring each others - and other guys - legs, am I allowed to note how cute Kasia Niewiadoma is?The UCI YouTube channel has highlights of each stage.
The Americans are kicking ass!
