Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ) won the Giro d'Italia Women, attacking on the last climb of the race, dropping Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) and bridging to a front group consisting of Antonia Niedermaier (Canyon-SRAM), Elisa Longo Borghini (UAE Team ADQ) and Niamh Fisher-Black (Lidl-Trek).
Niedermaier had attacked with 80km to go, with Longo Borghini and Fisher-Black bridging to her soon after. The German climber held the virtual maglia rosa until Vollering attacked on the Colletta di Brondello, leaving Van der Breggen behind and reaching the front group 28km from the finish.
