Lizzie Deignan (Lidl-Trek) will line up at the 2023 Giro d'Italia Donne, pleased that the event will go ahead as planned but disappointed in the limited information in the days leading up to the nine-day race set to begin on Friday in Chianciano.
In an interview with the media on the eve of the stage 1 time trial, Deignan spoke about the organisation of the race this year while also delivering a reminder of how important the event has been in women's cycling. She also spoke about Lidl-Trek's aspirations and how this race will act as a stepping stone to her ambitions at the Tour de France Femmes and Glasgow World Championships.
