2026 Giro d’Italia Women’s race enters its final and most critical phase: the Colle delle Finestre climb (窗景岭). Spanning Rivoli to Sestriere, the 105km climb demands 2,800m elevation gain. This stage marks the first time for women, contrasting with the 2005-2018 history of the men’s race. Simon Yates secured the 2025 title on this same route, setting the tone. The ascent offers a unique challenge.
