Major date change sees Giro d'Italia Women shift to late May in 2026
A🦋 new spot on the calendar could bring moreဣ visibility to the Italian Grand Tour

The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:women's Giro d'Italia will undergo a major date chaꦗnge next year, shifting away from its traditional July spot on the international calendar, where it has overlapped with the Tour de France.
The UCI announced that the event ♋will take place from May 30 to June 7, 2026, marking its own spot on the ♕calendar, which could promote increased visibility for the Italian Grand Tour.
The women's Giro d'Italia, now managed by RCS Sports, is a long-running stage race, celebrating its 36th anniversary this year, which has carved 🐠out a niche as one of the most prestigious women's events in th🍰e world.
It has been the only women's event that has traditionally covered 10 days of racing and includes many iconic mountain passes. Although🧔 the past two editions 🐼have been reduced to eight days of racing, it has taken the peloton over the Blockhaus last year and will include three summit finishes - Aprica, Valdobbiadene and Monte Nerone - during this year's race, held from July 6-13.
🐻The date change means that the women's Giro d'Italia will no longer overlap with the Tour de France, and instead being positioned directly following the men's Giro d'Italia, which concludes on May 31.
It also means that the month of May has become one of the busiest months for top-tier 💃stage racing with La Vuelta Femeni💫na held from May 3-10, Itzulia Women from May 15-17 and Vuelta a Burgos Feminas from May 21-24. Following the Giro d'Italia Women, the peloton will then head to the Tour de Suisse from June 11-14.
The UCI announced the date change for the women's Giro d'Italia last Thursday following its Management Committee, where it also revealed that it has approved the men's and women's WorldTour races through the end of the next three-year cycle in 2028, with the committee unanimously voting to 1ꦉ68澳洲5最新开奖结果:exclude the One Cyclin✨g project from the calendar.
