History
Lua error in package.lua at line 80: module 'strict' not found. Previously known as the Giro Donne, the race historically was a nine or ten day event taking place in Italy in early July each year, generally competing for attention with the more famous men's Tour de France. While the rebranded Giro Rosa has kept its position in the racing calendar, it has been shortened as of 2013 to eight days.
With the cancellation of the Tour de l'Aude Cycliste Féminin after 2010, the Giro Donne was the only Grand Tour left in women's cycling, and in December 2012 Wieler Review reported that the company Epinike had withdrawn as Giro Donne organiser, making the 2013 edition uncertain. In April 2013, however, organisers announced a shortened and rebranded Giro, the Giro Rosa would go ahead in 2013.
