Analysis

The biggest moment of the 2022 season for Annemiek van Vleuten, Emma Norsgaard and the women’s Movistar Team officially starts with the first of three ‘Grand Tours’ of their season, the Giro Donne, which opens an intense period of 18 racing days in a month’s time -combining the Italian event and the Tour de France Femmes-.

The Giro Donne will be divided into two blocks, the first of which will be held in Sardinia. The first three stages comprise an ITT prologue (almost 5km, Thursday 30th June) in Cagliari, and two sprinters’ courses towards Tortolì (Friday 1st) and Olbia (Saturday 2nd), ones where splits, crashes and incidents will have to be avoided before contesting the ‘volate’.

After a transfer day back to the Italian peninsula -vehicles go by boat, most of the roster will travel by plane-, a first mid-mountain stage will be tackled around Cesena (Monday 4th), with the Colle del Barbotto (Cat-2) and the Monteleone (Cat-2) on the second half of the route. After another chance for the sprinters in Reggio Emilia (Tuesday 5th) and a lumpy course around Grumello del Monte on Wednesday 6th, over five Cat-3 climbs and a prestigious finishing section up the Città Alta of Bergamo, the most feared, decisive mountains will come.

Thursday 7th, riders will take on a ‘unipuerto’ journey up to the 1,742m Passo Maniva (Cat-1), almost 10km at 7.8% average. Friday 8th will see the peloton climb up the Passo Bordola (Cat-2) and the Lago di Cei (Cat-2), the latter just 12km from the finish in Aldeno via downhill. And Saturday 9th will bring the decisive Queen stage, over the Fai della Paganella (Cat-2), the Passo Duron (Cat-2), the Passo Daone (Cat-1; 7km at nearly 11%!) and an uphill finish in San Lorenzo Dorsino. The final stage (Sunday 10th) will be short and fast, 90km for the sprinters towards Padova.
