Cycling the Cuneo Valleys: Monviso, the Agnello, and the Southern Piedmont Roads
The four Occitan valleys south of Cuneo — Varaita, Maira, Grana, and Stura — offer some of the emptiest and highest road cycling in the Italian Alps, anchored by the Col dell'Agnello, the Colle delle Finestre, and the medieval town of Saluzzo where the Giro Donne concludes today.
Fifty Seconds: The 2026 Giro Donne Comes Down to Saluzzo
Van der Breggen leads Vollering by 50 seconds entering the final stage of the 2026 Giro d'Italia Women — a loop through the Cuneo hills that ends in Saluzzo this afternoon. The gap is large enough to manage. The Montoso is hard enough to close it.
Sestriere: The 2,035-Metre Summit That Ends the Giro Donne
Stage 8 of the 2026 Giro d'Italia Women finishes at Sestriere — the high Alpine ski station in Piedmont that has ended multiple Grand Tours. A practical guide to cycling the Colle del Sestriere and building a training week in the upper Susa valley.
Vollering Takes the Stage, Van der Breggen Takes Everything Else: Stage 5 in the Cadore
Demi Vollering won the sprint of four that ended Stage 5 in Santo Stefano di Cadore, but Anna van der Breggen followed every attack and left the Dolomites still in pink — a minute clear, two stages from Sestriere.
Cycling Lake Garda: The Alpine Lake That Trains Champions
Lake Garda sits 15 kilometres from Ala, the starting town for today's Giro Donne sprint stage — a practical guide to the lake that WorldTour teams use as a winter base, built around the climbs, the loops, and the thermal winds that make the northern shore one of Europe's best cycling destinations.
Into the Po Plain: Stage 6 Brings a Sprinters' Reckoning to Brescello
The Giro Donne drops from the Dolomites to the Po plain today — 159 kilometres from Ala in the Adige valley to Brescello on the river, nearly flat, sprint finish expected. Van der Breggen sits in; Balsamo, already a two-stage winner this week, hunts a third.
Cycling the Cadore: Dolomite Passes from Cortina to the Comelico Valley
The road from Longarone to Santo Stefano di Cadore traces some of the Dolomites' most striking cycling terrain — Passo Tre Croci above Cortina d'Ampezzo, the Passo Sant'Antonio, and the Comelico valley finishing climbs that define today's Giro d'Italia Women Stage 5.
Into the Cadore: Van der Breggen Defends Pink on Stage 5's Triple Dolomite Test
Anna van der Breggen carries a 1:04 lead over Marlen Reusser into today's 146-kilometre Dolomite road stage from Longarone to Santo Stefano di Cadore — the Giro Donne's first day of full alpine climbing, with the Tre Croci, Sant'Antonio, and a double Costalissoio circuit stacked into the final 90 kilometres.
