The biggest race of July is the Giro d’Italia Women, returning from 6th to 13th July 2025 with eight stages across northern and central Italy. With 940km of racing, three summit finishes, and a high-quality start list, it stands as the headline event on the Women’s WorldTour calendar this month. The Tour de France Femmes may follow later in July, but all eyes are on Bergamo first, where the peloton will tackle the opening time trial before heading into a demanding week of climbs, sprints, and tactical racing.
