The race will be organised by RCS Sport, which also organise the men's Giro d'Italia.
Route
[edit]In January 2025, the route was announced by organisers RCS Sport.[1] It will comprise eight days of racing with eigh stages, covering a total of 939.6 kilometres (583.8 mi) with 14,000 metres (46,000 ft) of elevation gain.[2] The race will start in Bergamo, Lombardy in northern Italy with an individual time trial, before heading east through the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol and Veneto regions, and then south towards Emilia-Romagna and Marche regions. The race will pass through San Marino on stage 6. The final stage will use the same hilly circuit used at the 2020 UCI Road World Championships, finishing at the Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari (a motor racing circuit).[1][2]
The race will feature three summit finishes, with the queen stage on stage 7 with a summit finish at Monte Nerone at an elevation of 1,395 metres (4,577 ft).[1][2] As the highest climb of the race, the first rider to pass Passo del Tonale on stage 3 will be awarded the "Cima Alfonsina Strada"[1] – a prize named after Italian cyclist Alfonsina Strada, who took part in the men's Giro d’Italia in 1924.[3] Despite previous rumours,[4] the route does not feature the Mortirolo climb, last used in the 2016 edition of the race.[1]
Reacting to the route, 2024 winner Elisa Longo Borghini stated that she "really [likes] the route; it suits my characteristics".[5] The race remains at 8 stages in length, with the Tour de France Femmes becoming the longest event on the women's calendar with 9 stages.[6] As with the previous editions, the route required a waiver from the Union Cycliste Internationale, as Women's WorldTour races have a maximum race length of six days.[7]
