Giro Rosa (2.1), Italy
Giro Ciclistico d'Italia Femminile
Winners, podium, distance, average speed
The Giro Rosa is the women's Tour of Italy, currently held in July. Prior to 2013 the race was called the Giro Donne. The race has suffered organizing and financing difficulties in recent years. For a long time the race was a nine or ten day event. But 2013 the race was in crisis with the organizer, Epinike, said to be no longer willing to put on the race. The 2013 edition was put on in a shortened version, as was the 2014 race.
The race was not run in 1991 and 1992.
The 2015 Giro Rosa will be back to its old self with ten stages, counting the prologue individual time trial.
Sadly, as of 2015, the Giro Rosa is the only Grand Tour on the women's racing calender.
The 2001 winner, Zinaida Stahuskaia was later declassified for doping.
The first edition of the Giro Rosa was held in 1988.
