The first stage win of the Women’s Giro d’Italia was won by Swiss Nicole Brändli (Bigla Cycling Team). The Zurich based rider rode the 5.2 km course in 8'04 to beat Linda Villumsen (Buitenpoort) by three seconds, with Zoulfia Zabirova (Bigla) third at seven seconds.

"It was important for me to start the first stage of the Giro in the best possible way," said Brändli. "In this Giro, there are no big climbs, and so I lost no time."

Tomorrow, the women’s Giro will stay in Formello, starting and finishing in the same place, with a 115 km route partially around Lake Bracciano. The stage is due to start at 11.50 am and finish at approximately 3.00 pm.
