Preview

Commencing in Milazzo, Sicily on July 1 is the 12th edition of the Giro d'Italia Femminile, the two week long stage race that is one of the jewels of the women's calendar. With the last minute participation of last year's winner Joane Somarriba (Alfa Lum), this edition should provide plenty of close competition.

The first event is a non-counting 5.3 kilometre individual time trial (Anteprima Rosa) in Capo d'Orlando, before the race proper starts on Monday with a 120 kilometre stage starting and finishing in Milazzo. The race finishes on July 15 in Valdobbiadene with a 34.5 kilometre individual time trial.

The GAS Sport Team, with 15 wins so far this year, is looking to put one of its riders on the podium. Alessandra Cappellotto and Zinaida Stahurskaia will lead a strong team including recent Italian road champion Greta Zocca, Gabriella Pregnolato, Severine Desbouys, Roberta Bonanomi, Tania Belvederesi, and Silvia Parietti.
