The route of the 2025 Giro d'Italia for women in detail
The 36th edition of the women's Giro d'Italia will take place between 6 and 13 July. Formerly known as the Giro Donne, the race has officially been called the Giro d'Italia Women since it was first organised by the RCS, the organiser of the men's Giro, last year. The route was presented on 13 January in Rome, where the men's route was also unveiled. As in 2024, there are eight stages, but at 919.2 kilometres, it is longer than the 876.6 from the previous year. There will also be an increase of around 1300 metres in altitude to a total of 14,300 in 2025.
The stages in detail
The riders start in Bergamo with an individual time trial. The 14.2 kilometres are flat, with two long straights in the first part and a somewhat winding second section. If you want to play a role in the battle to succeed Elisa Longo Borghini, you can't lose much time here. On the second day, the first of a total of three mountain top finishes awaits in Aprica. However, the final climb is more of a steady and slow ascent than a steep ramp, making a sprint from a larger group of favourites the most likely scenario.
Day three starts with the Passo del Tonale, the highest mountain of the Giro d'Italia Women 2025 at an altitude of 1883 metres, but is otherwise sloping and flat, meaning that the sprinters will probably get their first chance in Trento. On stage 4, the classification riders will once again be in demand at the mountain arrival in Pianeze (Valdobbiadene). Stage 5 offers the second opportunity for the sprinters. The 120 kilometres between Mirano and Monselice are as flat as a pancake.
The following day, the puncheurs will have their fun. With 2350 metres of climbing, stage 6 has a classic profile to match. The preliminary decision in the battle for overall victory in the women's Giro d'Italia 2025 will be made on Saturday 12 July. It goes up the Monte Nerone. The final climb has an average gradient of eight per cent, is on the programme for the first time and is likely to offer a similar spectacle to the mountain finish at Blockhaus 2024. If seconds are still at stake in the overall standings after this stage, there could still be shifts on the final stage. After all, the 8th stage with 2200 metres of climbing over 134 kilometres is a constant up and down on the 2020 world championship course. The winner of the Giro d'Italia Women 2025 will then be crowned at the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Imola.
