It wasn't exactly expected to before the race, but the final stage of the Giro d'Italia Women brought all of the drama that anyone could want from a Grand Tour finale, with the maglia rosa changing hands after a day of all-out attacking from the favourites.

Demi Vollering (FDJ United-SUEZ) completed the set of GT victories by winning the pink jersey, snatching it from the shoulders of her former teammate and mentor Anna van der Breggen (SD Worx-Protime) at the last gasp.
