The 29th running of the women's Giro d'Italia, or Giro Rosa, was held from 6 to 15 July 2018.[1] Raced over ten stages, it is considered the most prestigious stage race of the women's calendar.[2] It was the 14th event of the 2018 UCI Women's World Tour.[3] Two-time winner Anna van der Breggen was the defending champion.[4] However she elected not to defend her title, choosing instead to focus on preparing for a bid to win her first title at the Road World Championships.[5]
