The route of the 2024 Giro d'Italia Women will be presented on December 12 in Milan, with the eight days of racing expected to start in the northeast and finish in the southern Abruzzo region after a hard, if not queen, mountain stage in the Apennines.
The Giro d'Italia Donne will officially be known as the Giro d'Italia Women in 2024, with new race organiser RCS Sport determined to relaunch the event after years of decline and lacklustre organisation.
"We think it’s the right moment to invest in women’s cycling in Italy. It’s a risk but one we’re happy to take. We’re looking to do things differently, with news sponsors, that will help us develop the Giro Women," race director Mauro Vegni told Cyclingnews.
"The Giro Donne once lasted for 11 stages and we hope to increase the race from eight days of racing back up to 11, perhaps with a rest day and even a Grande Partenza outside Italy. We’re working to make the Giro Women bigger and better year after year. 2024 is just the start."
