The Giro d'Italia Women is set to feature some of the world's best riders as they compete for the second grand tour of the year. Beginning on May 30th, riders such as Demi Vollering, Elisa Longo Borghini, Lorena Wiebes, Elise Chabbey and more headline a star-studded startlist.

Nine stages lie in store, including a time trial as well as an ascent of the legendary Colle delle Finestre in what is sure to be an attritional race. Longo Borghini returns after almost two months off the bike in her bid to make it three general classification wins in a row. However, she faces stiff competition in Demi Vollering and Anna van der Breggen while Niamh Fisher-Black and Sarah Gigante come in among the outsiders.

It's a competitive sprint field headlined by Lorena Wiebes. However, the SD Worx - Protime rider faces competition in Cat Ferguson, Charlotte Kool, Elisa Balsamo and Lara Gillespie among others for stage wins. World champion Magdelaine Vallieres and Elise Chabbey also make up a startlist brimming with quality.

It's sure to be an exciting week of racing across Italy, with at least three stages pinned to go down to a bunch sprint, two for the versatile riders and a race-defining final weekend with high mountains that will dictate the general classification, the big guns of the women's peloton are set to do battle.
