#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

1/ Juliette Labous (21, 🇫🇷, @JulietteLabous)

Finishing last year in 11th spot and winning the youth classification, will want to get top 10 this year defending her white jersey. Will be disappointed that there is no ITT in this year's route.
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

2/ Liane Lippert (22, 🇩🇪, @LianeLippert)

Has been one of the most consistent cyclists of the year. Together with teammate Labous - she'll be one of the main contenders for the white jersey. Not the best climber, but has grinta for days.
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

3/ Paula Patiño (23, 🇨🇴, @paulapb291)

Performing wel at the Ardèche last week, but was taken out the race by Movistar to be fresh at the Giro's start. Big contender for white, so looking forward to seeing her battle it out with the Sunweb-ladies.
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

4/ Katarzyna Niewiadoma (25, 🇵🇱, @KNiewiadoma)

Starting as one of the main contenders for GC - has shown to be in great form during the EC RR and La Course. In 2019, she held on to pink for 4 days - she'll want to take it home this year.
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

5/ Amanda Spratt (32, 🇦🇺, @AmandaSpratt)

With everybody focussing on Van Vleuten, she'll likely get a lot of room. I think this could just be her year to win the Giro and bring pink to Australia!
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

6/ Elisa Longo Borghini (28, 🇮🇹, @ElisaLongoB)

Has been golden past weeks for Deignan, so Lizzie will be more than happy to return the favour during Elisa's home tour. She'll be aiming to replicate her 2017 2nd place, or maybe even a step higher!
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

7/ Annemiek van Vleuten (37, 🇳🇱, @AvVleuten)

This list wouldn't be complete without the absolute champ. No introduction needed. She can't settle for less than 1st (except ofcourse with 2nd if Spratt brings home the win).
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

8/ Evita Muzic (21, 🇫🇷, @EvitaMuzic)

Massive talent, finishing 3rd in the youth classification last year. Has been showing consistent results this year, and will be aiming for some nice top 10 finishes during this year's Giro.
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

9/ Cecilie Uttrup Ludwig (25, 🇩🇰, @CUttrupLudwig)

I just couldn't make a list without including my favourite cyclist. Punchy rider, has energy for days and loves a cheeky attack. Can't wait to see her going for stage wins!
#GiroRosa - 10 riders to watch:

10/ Erica Magnaldi (28, 🇮🇹, @EricaMagnaldi)

Very consistent cyclist finishing last year in 10th spot. I'm expecting her to get some nice stage results, and sneaking into the top 10 on GC.
#GiroRosa - Conclusion

I'm expecting a great week of cycling, with a lot of attacks, tactical plays, and above all, an extremely attractive style of cycling. If you have been watching women's cycling for the past years, you just know it's going to be a spectacle to watch!
@TourdAmbiance bij deze heb ik dan ook mijn selectie direct eens prijsgegeven 😉
