Starting on Sunday July 7, The Giro d'Italia Donne has been officially rebranded as the Giro d'Italia Women in 2024, with new race organiser RCS Sport taking over the management of the race on a four-year contract through 2027.
The 2024 Giro d'Italia Women will be held from July 7-14, reduced to eight days from its traditional ten-day format.

Best VPN for streaming the Giro d'Italia Women
If you are outside of your home region and need to access your live streaming services to watch the action, you may find your access to be geo-restricted.
In this case, a VPN service will come in handy, allowing your computer to pretend it's home and let you log into your streaming accounts to catch all of the racing action.
