The Giro d’Italia Donne, or Giro Donne, is a long-running women’s stage race which has carved a niche as one of the most prestigious women’s events in the world. It is the only women’s event that has traditionally covered 10 days of racing and includes a number of iconic mountain passes.
The Tour de France Femmes is an annual women’s cycle stage race around France. It is organized by Amaury Sport Organization (ASO), which also runs the Tour de France. It is part of the UCI Women’s World Tour.
The Giro is one of professional cycling’s three-week-long Grand Tours, and after the Tour de France is the second most important stage race in the world (the Triple Crown of Cycling denotes the achievement of winning the Giro, the Tour and the UCI Road World Championships in the same season).
The Tour de France, cycling’s flagship race, is an annual multiple-stage event held primarily in France every summer, occasionally venturing into surrounding countries.
