GCN's 2018 Giro Rosa Preview Show

Clock00:00, Thursday 5th July 2018

There is no tougher, or more prestigious race in women's cycling than the Giro Rosa. 10 stages take the women's peloton across the north of Italy, starting in Verbania, and finishing in Friuli. Along the way though, there is even a meeting with the fearsome Monte Zoncolan.

First up let's talk about the big rider news from this race. The defending champion and arguably the strongest rider in the world right now, Anna Van der Breggen, will not be on the start line! This leaves the 2018 Giro Rosa wide open for any other rider to take probably the biggest win of her career.

And what about the course?! Two big mountain summit finishes, and a 15km uphill time trial, make this an especially selective course, it definitely doesn't get much more selective than the Monte Zoncolan!

Who do you think will be wearing pink after the final day in Friuli? Let us know in the comments.
