Watch: Giro d'Italia Donne stage 9 highlights

On the final day of the Giro d’Italia Donne 2023, it was another hot day out as the peloton crossed the northern tip of Sardinia, heading towards a flat and fast finish in Olbia. The day was one part racing and one part celebration as a couple of the sport's best riders ended their Giro Donne careers after the finish.

A few riders spent brief stints off the front, and some riders tried to shake things up and disrupt the sprinters in the final 40km, but the sprint teams made sure everything was brought back together before the finale.

Canyon-SRAM once again tried to said things up for Dygert, but the American faded against the pure sprinters as Chiara Consonni (UAE Team ADQ) emerged the fastest, delivering a victory for the team on Marta Bastianelli's final day as a professional. Safely getting through the final weekend without having to defend her lead at all, Annemiek van Vleuten (Movistar) rolled in to seal her overall victory and take home the fourth maglia rosa of her career, and her second Grand Tour win in her final season before retirement.
